Scotland and whisky go together like fish and chips, biscuits and tea or gin and tonic. On "Inside Whisky - The Barrel Talk" we talk to people working in the whisky industry and listen to their stories - may they be about whisky, their lives or the places they live in. Our podcast might be a bit geeky from time to time but whisky beginners will also find joy when listening to The Barrel Talk.
