    Unpoured Perspectives : Amber whisky and more with Don Dimonte & Last Straw Distillery
    2025/08/05

    This episode of Unpoured Perspectives was recorded on July 23rd 2025. Today, we talk with the man, the myth, the legend... Don Dimonte from Last Straw Distillery. We've spoken about Don and Last Straw many times over our inaugural season so far. In that way, he is somewhat of a legend. Don has helped numerous other distillers and distilleries get started. This week, he released his Southern Ontario Sippers barrel pick of Amber Whisky ($75 - great value for money). While you're there, consider his Stout whisky as another incredible alternative. In a few weeks, for those who have been paying attention, we'll be releasing 4 new products. Head to spiritforus.ca and sign up to stay informed. We also sample his Blended Rye ($32.95) and others. While we meander along the palates of several whiskies, we also talk through the excellent news for Ontario distillers. Great outlook for the future of distilling in Ontario!

    Welcome to Unpoured Perspectives. Episode 1 is titled Just Enough Funk. We are just a few guys following their passion, talking about whisky and other spirits. We talk about whisky groups, tariffs, the Canadian Whisky Awards, and new releases. After a few minutes, my video disappeared because it was distracting me. I did think that Zoom would still record it, but I was wrong.
