Uncorked Whisky Sessions

It seems Dave and Sam just cant get enough of rye whisky. This time we check out the World of Rye with two special guests, rye obsessed Miika Lipiäinen, co-founder of Finland's Kyrö Distillery and Paul Hletko, founder and distiller at Illinois' Few Spirits. Along the way there is a new game of 'Rye or Wrong' and plentiful amounts of Dr Whisky's somewhat wry sense of humour...

CERTIFICATION - SUPER GEEKY.
Oh terroir, what a bone of contention you have become in recent months. What are we to do? It would seem some analysis needs doing. And who better to do undertake such a task than our very own Tweedle dee and Tweedle dum, Dr Whisky and Boutique-y Dave (we'll let you decide which is which...) To explore this pesky French creation, your hosts are joined by distiller Ian O'Brien of the Waterford distillery, a distillery has been at the centre of the terroir debate this year, and has based its production methods on the existence of terroir. Also joining the debate are the Thompson brothers of Dornoch Distillery, purveyors of rare whiskies, hotel owners, and distillation experimenters. Charge those glasses 'cause it's about to get nerdy.

Sam and Dave discuss whisky's relationship with the environment, unearthing a whole host of positive changes being made throughout the industry to make whisky production a whole lot greener. Joining your hosts are Annabel Thomas of the environmentally conscious Nc'Nean distillery, Rob Wilson, CEO/ Chief Toaster at waste bread beer brewer TOAST, and Nick Ravenhall, industry expert, friend, and staunch supporter of greener practices in the alcohol industry.

Sam and Dave delve deeper into Australian Whisky ahead of Boutique-y Whisky's new Australia Series whisky collection. Your hosts are joined from Down Under by Aussie and fellow podcaster James Atkinson of the Drinks Adventures Podcast. Goodram mate.

We couldn't have picked two better guests with the recent news that Port Ellen, Brora, and Rosebank are set to reopen. Dr. Whisky and Boutique-y Dave are joined by none other than the legendary Colin Dunn of Diageo, and Gordon Dundas of Ian Mcleod Distillers. Past and future collide as the futures of these once lost distilleries are set to be rewritten, alongside Hunter S Thompson's Fear and Loathing, courtesy of Colin Dunn.
