Summary

This week, we're on location at the Victoria Whisky Festival in Victoria, British Columbia, where it was unofficially Bill Ashburn Weekend. The retired Forty Creek master blender was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Canadian Whisky Awards and guest of honor at a reception on Friday. We'll talk with Bill on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth, and have complete coverage of the Canadian Whisky Awards. In the news, President Donald Trump is threatening a new round of tariffs over Greenland that could affect Scotch Whisky, and we'll see how Canadian retailers are being affected by the Bourbon boycott.
