Mike & Duncan discuss the how it's usually the hope that kills you, and when you don't even have that, what does that means for whisky retailers?

Snakes alive we've hit 55! Mike and Duncan chat about the possibility of setting up a local whisky club, they chat through the latest release from Harris, The Hearach release 2 and they have their usual rants and recollections of thier week.

Whisky clubs... is whisky better shared? I guess it depends if it's the Loch Lomond Spanish Oak from Episode 53.

Mike and Duncan ignored Bruce Lee and invited the last surviving Wizard in Wales for a chat. Sean Williams from the Whisgi Wales podcast and organiser of the first proper lush Welsh Whisky Festival, takes the boys on a journey through Welsh Whisky. We guarantee there will be some names you've never heard of before.

We also take Sean on a stepping stone path to Pudding Island, stopping in his local pub on the way to grab his speedo's!
