Featuring Daniel Whittington as Jacob “Barley”, Caitlin Bartlemay (McCarthy’s Single Malt) as the Spirit of Maltmas Past, Mark Vierthaler (Whiskey Del Bac) as the Spirit of Maltmas Present, and Tyler Pederson (Westland Distillery) as the Spirit of Maltmas Future

Please enjoy our spirited and malty holiday special inspired by Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. My own performance was inspired by Houston’s Alley Theatre’s stage production of A Christmas Carol.

This special has been 2 years in the making, starting with initial recordings in December 2023, all of which were re-recorded in 2024, but the publication slipped a year because we all got distracted covering the ASMW Ratification in late December 2024.

It’s been a long time coming, and we sincerely hope you enjoy the most ambitious video yet on our channel.

Today’s bottles:

• Buffalo Trace
• Maker’s Mark The Heart Release
• McCarthy’s Single Barrel 701 (our barrel pick!)
• Whiskey Del Bac Dorado
• Westland Solum 2nd Edition
• Boulder Spirits Leave No Trace

Cheers! Merry Christmas to all who celebrate, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!

(We won’t be offended if you skip over our bad acting in Stave 1 and go straight to the guests. The video quality is relatively bad in Stave 1 and Stave 6, but much better in the Prelude and for our guest segments in Stave 2 through Stave 5.)
