Both Mike & Duncan give a very raw and honest view of the world of whisky. The show is highly entertaining as well as being able to increase your knowledge of whisky without the snobbery that can often associate with the it.
Bottom line, Mike and Duncan are great at making whisky fun. They share funny stories such as how to get newly purchased bottles in the house without significant others noticing. Great guys to listen to while enjoying a dram, or two.
5 stars I should’ve submitted a review a long time ago.

Been listening to you both nonstop for the past couple of months. Absolutely loving the show. I had to leave a review after episode 61- found it so hilarious with Duncan doughnuts awkwardly presenting by himself. Thank you both for all your hard work. Hoping to bump into you at a future Kendal whisky fest
Great pod. 1.5 funny guys
