Featuring Matt McKay of Bimber and Dunphail Distilleries aka The Dramble! Mike & Duncan play annoying whisky buzzword bingo, pitch The (imaginary) FunkaFunk bottling company 'Dragon's Den style' and chat with Matt about drams, horror flicks, mezcal, craft beer and folk who take pictures of whisky in trees.

We were having a lovely time having a chinwag with Matt, who is super passionate, and so we we talked for longer than expected! The interview and content split naturally into two episodes: part 1 and 2. Lets get ready to Dramble!
