In this lively episode of Not Another Whisky Podcast, Mitch and Daz catch up after a hectic month. They banter about haircuts, and whisky-induced running adventures. They dive deep into recent whisky festivals, highlighting the Spirit of Speyside and Fèis Ìle. The duo touches on the boom in "gastro-distilleries" (but lets never call it that again), the drop in the importance of getting your prostate checked!! Then on to the news including the list of the top 10 distillery visits, and there's a sneak peek at upcoming live events. Grab a dram and enjoy!
