In our penultimate episode of Whisky and Things we finally get round to talking about the deal, the steal, some might say the teal of the century…. The Classic Laddie from Bruichladdich, Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky. We’ve loved what we’ve sampled before so how will their flagship release match up? Also, seeing as next week is our last episode, we wouldn’t want leave you hanging on your morning commutes, or weekend walks in the countryside so we’ll be running down some of our favourite podcasts for your entertainment needs, be it whisky based or otherwise for you to fill our, probably tiny void.

In episode 123 we head back to the Northwest of the USA, Portland Oregon to be precise to taste the Westward Single Malt American Whiskey. We’ve loved other examples of Single Malts from the region but how will this compare? We also have some fun facts about Portland, a heatwave whisky recommendation as well as an important announcement.

We’re very lucky this week to be sampling another dram from Tasmania, in the form of the Fanny’s Bay Single Malt Whisky. Our first 100% Malted Barley example from the Australian island, so we’re very excited to see how it tastes and find out all about their story. We’re also joined by Jamie Ryder, a hospitality copywriter, whisky fan and fiction author who likes to combine drinks, pop culture and philosophy. He's the editor of Yamato Magazine, a Japanese culture publication that celebrates Japanese drinks and more. He also runs Drink To That, a hospitality newsletter that promotes drinking stories and brands from all over the world. In addition, he's the creator of Tales Of The Frontier, a horror western world of monsters, magic and mayhem. His debut novella At The Dead Of Dusk is available now. Dave also shares the best drinks scientifically proven to keep you hydrated this Summer… very important!

All the way back in episode 2 we first tried the standard Bulliet Bourbon, and it’s a brand we’ve grown to love, so combine that to our appreciation of Rye whiskey and we thought it was about time we gave their green labelled Straight American Rye Whiskey a go go… yep, this week its’s time for the Bulleit 95 Rye named for the percentage of Rye in it’s mash bill.
