AUTUMN DRAM GOOD RUNDOWN
11/17/24 • 46 min
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!

HOUSE OF HAZELWOOD: A JOURNEY THROUGH RARE BLENDS AND LEGACY CASKS WITH PHIL KEENE
In this episode, Mitch sits down with Phil Keene, the legendary mind behind House of Hazelwood, to explore a series of extraordinary whiskies that marry tradition with innovation. Phil, the Commercial Director of House of Hazelwood, takes us on a deep dive into the brand’s philosophy and the craft behind some of its most unique expressions—each one a testament to rare casks, ghost distilleries, and expert blending.

Phil shares insights on preserving the delicate balance of aged whiskies, blending rare stocks, and working with silent distilleries to revive forgotten flavours.
Mitch and Phil also discuss the role of grain whisky, age versus character, and how bespoke projects cater to the discerning whisky collector.
Whether you’re a whisky investor or a die-hard fan of Islay’s smoky spirit, this episode has something for every palate. Grab a dram and join us for a conversation filled with laughter, history, and a few surprising notes on the future of rare blended Scotch.
