A fresh new chapter celebrating the incredible flavours of Canada with a 250 ft bar, aiming to have 1000 beverage/alcohol products and many other attractions. Even if you can't attend the show directly, we had a wonderful conversation, finding out about the goals and design of the show.

    Unpoured Perspectives: Gretzky Estates Part 2 - Ginger Beer Cask Rye with Jason Roller and Mark Evangelista

    Your brain on whisky! Unpoured Perspectives was lucky enough to visit Gretzky Estates for the release of their new Ginger Beer Cask Rye. We were lucky enough to get a tour of the facilities from Mark Evangelista (Blending & Maturation Lead), and then, we got to interview Mark and the new head of both Spirits and Wine, Jason Roller. The tour will be part 2, even though we technically did the tour first. And of course for Canada Corner we have the Ginger Beer Cask Rye. There are lots of exciting things planned at Gretzky Estates, including a couple that we got to try on the tour.  @gretzkyestates | https://waynegretzkyestates.com Bobby Laevons | @dramsanddripsJoel Bacchus | @scratchnscotchKevin Donde |  @spiritforus  | https://spiritforus.ca 00:00 - Intro00:12 - Recooping barrels03:16 - Blending Room04:25 - Blending in progress05:22 - 8 year-old Rye Toasted Barrel09:04 - 7 year old Barley Virgin Oak13:31 - Outro

    Unpoured Perspectives : For love not money with Denver Cramer of DenverAndLiely.com

    Welcome to Unpoured Perspectives. In this episode, we interview Denver Cramer from Denver and Liely. "For Love Not Money" does have a bit of a James Bond ring to it. Intentional, I promise. Glassware is a favourite topic for spirits enthusiasts, and talking to Denver about his whisky/bourbon/mezcal/beer and wine glasses was a real treat. It was also fun to see everyone one-up each other with the whisky, rum, and tequila they were drinking. We get into his history, current easter eggs and future plans that spirit enthusiasts have to look forward to, as well as a sort of surprise announcement for one lucky contractor.  https://denverandliely.com | Denver & Liely | @denverandliely Denver Cramer: @denvercramerJoel: @scratchnscotchBobby: @dramsanddripsKevin: @spriritforus http://spiritforus.cahttps://eauclairedistillery.ca/ | Eauclaire Cask Series Moscatel Music credit to BoDleasons for Alone The fate of all glass is to one day break.00:00:00 - Intro00:01:15 - What's in the glass?00:04:37 - Whisky Glass00:05:34 - Denver & Liely00:13:21 - Performance over aesthetics & style00:17:33 - Easter Eggs00:20:55 - Then vs Now00:25:54 - The Gospel00:29:34 - Time for a little one up-manship00:32:50 - High ABV?00:36:00 - Los Frontieres00:39:12 - Next dram00:47:27 - Wine Glass00:53:04 - Quench Journal00:57:42 - Drinking environment01:00:58 - Quote of the Day01:02:36 - Closing questions01:14:11 - Canada Corner

    Unpoured Perspectives : Amber whisky and more with Don Dimonte & Last Straw Distillery

    This episode of Unpoured Perspectives was recorded on July 23rd 2025. Today, we talk with the man, the myth, the legend... Don Dimonte from Last Straw Distillery. We've spoken about Don and Last Straw many times over our inaugural season so far. In that way, he is somewhat of a legend. Don has helped numerous other distillers and distilleries get started. This week, he released his Southern Ontario Sippers barrel pick of Amber Whisky ($75 - great value for money). While you're there, consider his Stout whisky as another incredible alternative. In a few weeks, for those who have been paying attention, we'll be releasing 4 new products. Head to spiritforus.ca and sign up to stay informed. We also sample his Blended Rye ($32.95) and others.  While we meander along the palates of several whiskies, we also talk through the excellent news for Ontario distillers. Great outlook for the future of distilling in Ontario!  https://laststrawdistillery.com | Last Straw Distillery Last Straw Distillery: @laststrawdistillJoel: @scratchnscotchBobby: @dramsanddripsKevin: @spriritforus http://spiritforus.ca
