The Gold Rush / Tamdhu 10 Single Malt Scotch

Bob and Brad continue their series of Charlie Chaplin-directed films with his 1925 classic The Gold Rush. One of the most financially successful films of the silent era, this movie is full of iconic Chaplin bits, including his famous "Dance of the Rolls." Our hosts compare and contrast it with last week's film, City Lights, and highlight how much more comedy-oriented this movie is.

Then, they try Tamdhu 10, a Speyside single malt that smells and tastes more like a Highland scotch. Is it worth it at a relatively affordable price point?
