Game of Thrones Themed Scotch’s
Click here to listen to the podcast
Welcome back to another season of the Cask Mates Podcast! This is first in a series where we will be trying the full collection of Game of Thrones themed scotch’s. The first two scotch’s we are starting with are the Dalwhinnie Winter’s Frost (House Stark) and the Oban Bay Reserve (Night’s Watch). More information about these scotch’s can be found below as well as our personal reviews.
Afterwards we recap the college football season, and chat about our home team, the Longhorns, making it to an actually decent bowl game this year! We also have some predictions on the remainder of the NFL season and who may be going to the Super Bowl. Finally we briefly touch on college basketball and how we are looking forward to March Madness. Make sure to stay tuned for that episode!
FYI, this episode was recorded the afternoon of Saturday, January 12th, so our predictions are not really predictions in the practical sense.
