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. Every drop of its spirit will be earmarked for bottling as a single malt to begin with, though expect to see some siphoned off for blending further down the line.

Josef Pieper strikes again! We talk about his book,  In Tune with the World , and what ingredients Pieper says are required to have a true festival. About our drink: Octomore 11.1 Exposing the structural brilliance of our pure, unadulterated Octomore super heavily peated spirit, our 11.1 edition is powerful, understated and vibrant. Underpinned with a delicate balance of smoke and sweet vanilla from the ex-American oak casks, this single malt has spent just 5 years in contact with fresh first fill wood. The presence of peat on the palate is huge, and yet is incredibly balanced with clean fruit and floral notes. 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...
