Fr. Aquinas Guilbeau joins us to talk about the Thomistic understanding of the virtue of Temperance. About our drink: Torabhaig  Single Malt Scotch Whisky Torabhaig is another of the traditional farm steading-turned distillery projects cropping up across Scotland in recent years, though its output is significantly larger than many of its peers. Skye’s second distillery is configured to produce a traditional island-style malt whisky – medium-weight and medium-peated with a long fermentation in wooden washbacks and plenty of copper interaction providing a fruit-forward spirit.

Distilled in 2014 from the 2013 harvest of 100% Scottish barley then filled into active ex-American oak, this high provenance, high peat single malt is a fitting embodiment of how quality ingredients demand less time to reach maturity. About our gear: In this stimulating and still-timely study, Josef Pieper takes up a theme of paramount importance to his thinking – that fest...
