Thank you so much for your time and effort in researching facts for this episode and more. One of the best podcasts out there. Listen to every episode.
This and the Whiskey Lore Interviews podcast are fantastic. Highly recommend!
Recently started listening to the podcast, following on from Drew’s interview on WhiskyCast.
It’s been a riveting listen, taking me through stories I thought I knew but amazed to find out the facts are not always as have been recounted.
Well worth the listen, testament to this has been myself reaching midway of season 4, without even realising it. You won’t be disappointed if you have an interest in both whisky and history.
…but the narrator says “Benjermin”, “fermiliar”, and “assoshiate”. It’s too grating; he should continue the great research and then get someone else to narrate if he is too old to fix the problem.
I really enjoy this podcast. The subjects are interesting and the host speaks well with a nice pace. I’ve listened to all the episodes and find myself repeating them!
