June 21, 2023 Episode 14 - Bourbon, Brisket and Bourbon Biscuits
Mike and Duncan chat about getting stuck into National Bourbon Day by sampling lots of bourbon, chefing up a proper 'low and slow' BBQ and smoking some
cuban cigars! The guys ponder which place in their heart (and drinks cabinet) bourbon holds and whether longer maturation bourbon whiskey in dunnage or coastal cooler warehouses would close the gap to Scotch, with more complexity in the glass.

Featuring Matt McKay of Bimber and Dunphail Distilleries aka The Dramble!

About Honest to a Malt

From the publisher's feed

Mike and Duncan host the Honest to a Malt podcast - fueled entirely by whisky and laughs! An entertaining exploration of the trials and tribulations of being hobbyists and human beings. Each episode delivers a new topic, idea, or special guest/s. Plus, the guys discuss the latest whisky in their glasses, what's been grinding their gears and share listener stories. Podcast may include slightly dodgy impressions, singing and the odd rap.
