Bunnahabhain Toiteach A Dha + Cry Havoc

April 2, 2021 / 47:05/S1:E4

Our heroes are heading to Islay to visit their favourite distillery, Bunnahabhain to review their only peated core range bottle the Toiteach A Dha (Smokey Two), and pair it with an amazing Monster/Horror/Action book Cry Havoc, from Image Comics. Whisky Tasting Notes (7:15) Cry Havoc Review and synopsis (11:30) Why these two work so well together (25:00) Discussion about Unwilling Heroes (26:45) Notes from Bunnahabhain: 'Meaning 'Smoky Two' in Scots Gaelic, Toiteach A Dhà (pronounced Toch-ach ah-ghaa) is a sequel to the original peaty paradox on Bunnahabhain’s gentle single malt. To create this Mòine variant, our Senior Blender, Dr. Kirstie McCallum selected a combination of ex Bourbon and Sherry casks which were then matured in full, in our coastal warehouses on Bunnahabhain Bay. With touches of smoke from our peated malted barley, this whisky’s prickling strength emanates from the dram, while warming with a lingering, robust length and delicately sweet sherry influence.' Notes from Image: 'CRY HAVOC mixes the hard-boiled militaria of Jarhead with the dark folklore of Pan's Labyrinth and includes an unprecedented use of multiple colorists—Matt Wilson, Lee Loughridge, and Nick Filardi—to define the story's threads. As the creators themselves wryly note: this is not the tale of a lesbian werewolf who goes to war... except it kind of is.' Make sure you check out the companion article at www.thewhiskeygeeks.com Thanks as always to ColinResponse for the use of our theme song 'Something About Your Love' off his self-titled release. You can find more great music and all around awesomeness on his website: www.colinresponse.com
