This week we crack open the Cragganmore 12 Year Old, Single Malt Scotch Whisky…. the 2019 Special Release no less. Cragganmore aren’t known for smoky whisky so we thought we’d delve into the fascinating story behind this unusually peaty, cask strength expression from this Speyside Distillery.

This week we crack into an 11 year old whisky originating from the Glentauchers Distillery in Speyside, bottled by Ooshkie, the same Indie Bottling team behind The Whisky Baron brand. We’ve loved what we tasted from them in the past, but how will this single cask, cask strength, 57.5% ABV whisky matured in first fill ex-boubon casks compare? We also ask the question… What’s an NFT?

This week welcome back onto the show Matt McKay. A man with many roles including Director of Marketing and Communications at Bimber, writer on The Dramble blog and now Director of Whisky Creation and Outreach for the upcoming Dunphail Distillery in Speyside… We learnt so much from him and we hope you will as well. And we thought this was a perfect opportunity to taste the Bimber Klub 2nd Edition… Single Malt London Whisky finished in Vino de Naranja Casks (that’s Orange Wine… Fancy!)

Did you know that the Bladnoch Distillery produce a whisky designed for cocktails? Well they make a few under the Pure Scot Blended Scotch label, and this week we’ll be tasting their ‘Signature’ bottling. A Lowland Scotch distillery owned by an Australian surfer/yoghurt tycoon with impressive environmental ethics certainly is an interesting recipe for a cracking origin story… so press play and enjoy.

In this week’s very special show we visit the East London Liquor Company, and talk to their founder Alex Wolpert. As well as hearing about their story, their operation and their spirits, with Earth Day last week, we’ll also be discussing the bold step the company has made to reduce their carbon footprint. We’ll also be sipping their London Wheat Whisky for our scoring league… It’s our first Wheat Whisky, so what did we think?

This week we’re sampling a dram from the West coast of the USA, in the form of the Cherrywood Rye Whiskey from the Sonoma Distilling Company in California.

We also update you on our recent London outing as well as our position in a Whisky Podcast Chart… but where did we end up?
