  • One for the whisky drinkers. I've been listening to this for a couple of weeks. Really nice bunch of guys who love a dram. Not snobby arses about it.

    Recent one I've listened to have been about the history of different brands, and insight into whisky in India and the story of the iconic Glencairn glass - not as old as you'd think!

    Warning this can lead to you creating a wishlist on Amazon! Hello from Kent.

  • Guests too quiet, host too loud.

    Enjoyable content but please give your guests better microphones. I can hardly hear Simon Thompson so turn up AirPods to full whack then get a blast of deafening shouty host banter. Not the only episode where the guest I actually want to hear from is too quiet.

  • Love it but audio settings is bad

    Hard to listen over headphones, as every person have different volume, guy with mic is extremely loud but guests you can not hear sometimes beside him, just unbalanced audio and few times I had to stop listening, sadly

  • One of the best whisky podcasts available

    If you have a love of whisky, you will love this podcast.
