This episode is all about Coastal Scotland. We feature Isle of Raasay Distillery and discuss our September West Coast Scotland Whisky Trip. If these distilleries and this discussion don't make you want to book at least 5 trips to Scotland, we don't know what will...
Holly blind tastes Charles and we're both a bit out of practice when it comes to blind tastings!

We're back! We missed you all too. During this episode we discuss both of our trips to Scotland and how whisky faired over the summer. Then we chat about Barrell Bourbon and how they truly are pioneers for American Whiskey Blenders. If you're up for it, after Barrell, we overshare our concerns or shall we say, cautious observations, regarding all of the new Scotch Distilleries in the works.
Please leave us a review wherever you are listening as well. We appreciate you! Cheers!
