  <title>A Whisky Sweater for Burns Night (Whisky Re-Release)</title>
  <description>In addition to this re-release of “Whisky, Burns Night, and … Beerhenge?” (Originally Released Jan 28, 2022 ) I give a new, quick introduction to Burns night before treating you to this episode on whisky, in which I discuss: what it is, a little history, how it’s produced, distinguishing the styles, and a little silliness (because your host cannot help herself).&amp;amp;nbsp; Just the thing for a cold, January in the northern hemisphere on this weird third rock from the sun.
