    After a chance meeting with Distiller app co-founder Mikael Mossberg and in-house whiskey expert Stephanie Moreno at this year's SXSW event, a unique podcast concept was born. In this Very Special Episode, our guests serve as spirit guides, taking us through the business and production end of the whiskey trade. They also offer some sage advice on sampling and understanding the nuances of this popular adult beverage. Feel free to drink along (for those 21 and over) as we discuss and sample a selection of whiskey, scotch and rye. So get comfortable, grab your glass and join us for this special edition of the Engadget Podcast. Cheers! Hosts: Terrence O'Brien, Joseph Volpe, Ben Gilbert Guests: Stephanie Moreno, Mikael Mossberg Producer: Jon Turi Hear the podcast:

    Nerds cannot live on tech news alone. That's why, every so often, we'll be hosting a Very Special Episode of the Engadget Podcast where we touch upon the cultural and social impacts of the technology that matters most to you. Sometimes, that means we'll even be talking about booze. We are all onions, after all... Hey, hey, hey! This Friday join your usual hosts, Ben, Joseph and Terrence as they sit down with Mikael Mossberg and Stephanie Moreno from Distiller, a whiskey recommendation engine. These five lovers of tech and booze will be talking about the Distiller app, the exploding craft whiskey scene and will be taste-testing three fine spirits. If you want to drink along at home, on the menu will be Springbank 10, a lightly peated single malt scotch from Campbeltown; Colonel E.H. Taylor Straight Rye, a spicy 100 proof whiskey from Kentucky; and Hudson Single Malt, an American twist on a Scottish classic. So mark your calendars for 4PM ET this Friday, April 11th, and join us on Facebook and Google+.
