We thought we understood how different casks shape whisky. We were confident. Then we tasted everything blind.

No brands.
No regions.
Just the influence of the barrel.

Tonight we blind taste a lineup of whiskies matured and finished in very different casks and try to identify the barrel before we see what is in the glass. What should be obvious is not. What we were sure about falls apart fast.

Play along in the comments and tell us
Which cask would you have picked
Which dram surprised you most
And whether blind tasting changed how you think about barrels

Pour a dram and join us.
