Welcome to The Flask at Hand, the only show where we go deep—both into the ocean and into our whisky glasses (sometimes deeper than intended). Tonight, we raise a glass of Compass Box Oak Cross, a whisky so good they had to discontinue it—probably to keep us from getting too powerful.
While we sip, we'll be diving into some deep-sea madness: a secret mission to raise a Russian submarine (because everyone loves a good Cold War heist), the eerie glow of bioluminescent creatures (nature's own rave party), and the mind-blowing ways marine medicine is saving lives—possibly including yours after this pour. And, of course, we'll stir up some controversy with deep-sea mining, where humans do what we do best: argue about whether we're ruining the planet or not.
So grab a drink, hold your breath, and join us as we explore the ocean's strangest secrets—preferably before the whisky kicks in.
