Alex aka @whiskyculture on instagram kindly hooked us up with a visit and Ivan has stayed in touch with the show ever since then. Ivan brings an INCREDIBLE wealth of whisky knowledge to the SMWS. His travels around the world for the golden dram is a must for the whisky enthusiast out there.

Jacks rise in the bourbon community over the last few years has been fantastic. His content that he creates is done with care and attention to detail. He’s always willing to help those new in the whiskey world and isn’t afraid to share opinions that go against the grain. His show on YouTube called “Monday Sucks” has become a big hit in the whiskey community!

What Jacks true passion is surrounds community and unity. Jacks project with Heaven Hill Distillery “AFROFUSION” brings West African cuisine and Bourbon together. Bringing a cultural fusion that allows people from different communities and backgrounds together over food and bourbon. This speaks exactly to who Jack is as a person. Someone who enjoys creating and bringing people together!

In this episode. Paul is in Edinburgh Scotland at Holyrood Distillery chatting with Marc Watson. This was a great part of the trip! It was refreshing to see a single malt distillery with so much innovation and experimentation. 

Holyrood is a modern distillery in the heart of historic Edinburgh. Inspired by their surroundings, and never afraid to experiment, Holyrood is dedicated to shaping the spirit of tomorrow. With considerable experience in the whisky industry, Holyrood's founders had a vision to create a new kind of distillery, one that would reflect the dynamism and diversity of present day Edinburgh.

This is definitely going to be a company we keep an eye on and do a show with again on another adventure across the pond!
