(From Mark at WhiskyCast);

Whisky is a treat for many of us, but the trick is finding the right one (obligatory Halloween reference). Keith Law is one of the master blenders for Diageo, and suggests that a blended Scotch may be the way to go for some people. In the news, English Whisky is just a few weeks away, the Knob Creek drought of 2009 is over, The Balvenie’s coppersmith celebrates his 50th anniversary, and tasting notes for several rare Islays and the 2000 Vintage Evan Williams Single Barrel Bourbon.

The week’s Park Avenue special is the Glenfiddich 21 Rum Cask, usually $135, but down to $117 this week. Mention that you heard of the special via WhiskyCast to receive the special price.
