Mike and Duncan hand over control to Paul Main... whisky legend in his own right and brand ambassador for Hunter Laing and Ardnahoe.

We are putting a Whisky Geek Warning on this one. Paul guides the chaps through the new Ardnahoe Feis Ile botting and gives a sneak preview of the future releases.

There's a quiz on toast, much debate about how good surfing is the watch on the box and speculation that it might have been sunny in Glasgow.

Also, big shout out to Colin of Tipsy Midgie for his chocolate and whisky menu!

Have you got any of your own whisky and chocolate matches?

Is there another Distillery names after it's water source?

Mike and Duncan chat with Claire Vokins, a whisky brand ambassador, horticulturalist(posh for gardener) and someone who puts her money where her mouth is.

Join the lads as they whisk Claire away to Pudding Island and stop off at a crap local boozer in order for Claire to re-arrange the whisky shelf.

Then we get into rants...
