Whisky Stories Podcast

This is the first ever Whisky Stories Double Header Part 1.

When the Distillery Manager drives down from Tomatin to chat, we had to make sure we got all we could get.
Jamie Muir is the Distillery Manager at Tomatin, he grew up on Jura and has worked for Jura Distillery 3 times, Fettercairn, Kichoman and BrewDog.
Danny Whelan is Global Marketing Manager for Tomatin and started out working in bars making cocktails.
In this episode we hear their stories and how they got into whisky and how they both ended up working for Tomatin.
We also asked, why is Tomatin 36 the whisky to ruin whisky for you?

This one got loose! We packed out Uno Mas in Edinburgh for this Whisky Stories LIVE event and what a night it was.
John Stirling was back on the pod and we also had Christian Perez from the distillery down and he brought a very special cask sample with him that John hadn't event tried.
We went through the lineup, chatted about the whisky and challenged John on some of the conversation that's happened since his last episode.
My head was sore the next day. A sign of a very enjoyable night.

It was great having Stephen Woodcock back on the pod. And this time he came bearing gifts!
Not to be outdone by the team at Bunnahabhain, he made sure we stand out now with the bright yellow iconic Cutty Sark jackets, bags, mugs, notebooks and pens!
He also brought drams with him too and plenty of great chat about his career, some really funny stories, and plenty of distilling and blending insight too.
Well worth poring a few drams for this long and epic episode.

It was time for a monthly catch-up in Diggers with the lads.
We were down in the cellar with plenty of drams and loads to talk about.
We caught up on our distillery trip to Arbikie, some big drams on the lineup, AND if we can pull off organising our very own Whisky Stories Festival.
Loads of laughs, questionable chat, and good drams on this one.

Arbikie Distillery are about to launch their first ever Single Malt release. And it's taken them 10 long years to wait for this moment.
And what better way to spread the good word about it than to come on the Whisky Stories Podcast and tell us all about it.
John Stirling is one of the family members involved in the business. He is 'Chief Taster' and has been part of the journey since a conversation in a bar in New York.
The goal is simple - Make the best 18 year old whisky in the world.
Hear the whole story in this episode, including the £30,000 bottle, the ethos of the whisky, and creating sustainable products.
