We've been looking forward to this follow-up with Anna Mantheakis, a distiller, blender, and data expert for Westward Whiskey. We will talk about her path through the industry from Wine to Whiskey, and especially her experiences with synesthesia and how that shapes her tasting abilities. Anna experiences a type of synesthesia which causes sound to affect her sense of taste (flavor and texture). We're going to go deep on learning about synesthesia with Anna, and touch on the fascinating story of her path through the beverage industry as a synesthete!
We look forward to seeing you there!
Note: This live stream is scheduled for a different time slot than usual: Wednesday at 6pm PDT (rather than the usual Thursday at 5pm PDT).

Disclaimer: Some of our guests give us samples of their products for us to discuss with them on air. In these cases we receive no compensation outside of the samples themselves, and we maintain our journalistic integrity: we feature the brands and products that we love *because we love them* and for no other reason, and we give our honest opinions. In this case of this video, Westward is the brand in question. While Doug has received 3 bottles from Westward (including the Westward Pinot and the Westward Vintner's Cuvee mentioned in this video), he has also purchased at least 9 other bottles of Westward Whiskey for his personal collection. Phill purchased his own bottle of Westward Stout Cask. Doug's bottle of Stranahan's Distillery Exclusive Batch 006 Colorado Brewer's Cask also mentioned today was a complimentary distillery sample from Stranahan's.
