Geek out over Glenrothan, the upcoming whisky-themed movie, and dish on Glasgow 1770’s winter cask strength editions. The lads also tackle the controversial Wolfcraig unbranded spirit refunds and toast to Nc’nean’s groundbreaking sustainable bottle return scheme.
From sustainability to spirits, this episode has it all, including a sneak peek at their next guest, the legendary Dave Broom, who’s got a new book and—wait for it—a beard oil worth discussing.
