In this episode, Whiskey for the Ages editors Hannah, Elora and Brian Dawson talk with James Johnston, Admin of their local whiskey group, Boise Whiskey Enthusiasts (the BWE). The BWE began as a small FaceBook group and has grown to more than 300 members. Over the past five years the group has …

  • Held many meet-and-greets in bars and member’s homes,
  • Been exposed to some fantastic whiskey,
  • Created Advent Calendars and Summer Taste offs,
  • Bought nearly a dozen barrels of whiskey, and
  • Participated in many charitable functions, benefiting our local community

James has recently taken the helm of the BWE after their beacon, founder, and first Admin stepped down. During this show the panel discusses some favorite whiskies, whiskey clubs and their place in the community, how start your own group, and so much more.
