In this laid-back episode of Not Another Whisky Podcast, Mitch and Nicholas return after an unplanned summer break with plenty of stories to share. While Mitch was busy soaking up the sun in Greece (and possibly getting some questionable tan lines), Nicholas found himself stuck in an airport, becoming an expert on duty-free whisky labels.

This catch-up episode is packed with the latest whisky news, including:

• Beyoncé’s surprise entry into the whisky world with her new brand, Sir Davis (complete with a nearly successful exclusive interview... ).
• Macmyra's unfortunate bankruptcy and its impact on the Scandinavian whisky scene.
• Scottish scientists are turning whisky waste into £90 million worth of 'liquid gold'—because whisky is now saving the planet.
• Benbecula Distillery is reviving a 130-year-old recipe, mixing tradition with modern techniques.
• Price hikes hitting the UK whisky market this September, and why you might want to stock up on your favourite drams now.
• Penderyn is hitting a snag at its third site in Wales.

With plenty of laughs, banter, and whisky wisdom, Mitch and Nicholas bring their signature humour to this episode, making sense of the whisky world one dram at a time.

In this episode, we reconnect with Pete Allison, co-founder and whisky maker at Woven Whisky. Since our first chat back in 2022, Woven has gone from strength to strength, blending whiskies from across the globe and shaking up the industry with its experimental, ‘borderless’ approach. Pete shares how the brand has evolved, from bold releases like the Experience No. 20 to the launch of its new blending studio in London.

Join us as we explore the art of whisky blending, break down the barriers of tradition, and get an inside look at the creativity driving Woven’s vision. We will also explore how Pete and his team balance innovation with craftsmanship, their favourite unexpected flavour combinations, and what’s next for Woven.

If you’re curious about whisky and love the idea of something new and exciting, this episode is for you. Plus, Pete shares where you can find Woven’s latest releases and how to get involved in creating your custom blend at their new studio.

In this episode of Not Another Whisky Podcast, Mitch and Nicholas are back with their trademark blend of sharp wit, whisky expertise, and questionable banter.

They dive headfirst into the hottest whisky news and stories that’ll have you raising a glass—or an eyebrow. First up, they celebrate the fiery launch of Loch Lomond’s new release, crowned IWSC Producer of the Year. Then, it’s a toast to Ewan McGregor’s remarkable charity auction for CHAS, raising an incredible £135,000 with his rare Arran cask whisky.

Nicholas takes a deep dive into the dramatic rebranding of Highland Park, while Mitch raises an eyebrow at Diageo’s bold plan to redevelop Talisker. Fear not, history buffs—the original distillery was already a goner back in 1960.

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.

Pour yourself a dram, sit back, and enjoy the ride—it’s a stonker!
