Brace yourselves, Game of Thrones Scotch is coming. In the middle of recording the recent two-part “All the Islay” podcast, Brett Pontoni got some breaking news about the Game of Thrones single malt releases.

Picking up from last week, the Barrel to Bottle crew is joined by the Whiskey Hotline to taste through all eight active distilleries in Scotland's Islay region.

Scotland's Islay makes some of the most distinctive and immediately recognizable whisky in the world, from graceful and honeyed to richly peated, smoky and briny.

The Binny's crew got a sneak preview of the full Bourbon County Brand Stout lineup, and they run through their tasting notes, insider info and more in this week's Barrel to Bottle breaking news episode.

Brunello – it’s one of the most iconic wines from Italy. On this admittedly geeky episode of Barrel to Bottle, Kristen leads the Binny’s team through this world-famous Tuscan sub-region and the grape that makes it great.
