What Makes a Great Whisky Experience, and Why Scotland Does It Best | Ali Baxter
05/11/2026 | 1h 43 mins.Ali makes it a hat trick of appearances on the podcast with his third time back on.
He is the Head of Visitor Experience for the famous Scotch Whisky Experience in Edinburgh.
So this was only going to be about one thing; what makes a great whisky experience and how do we do it?
Ali talks us through his role, how he's learnt how to create experiences that bring whisky drinkers and non-whisky drinkers in for something they'll never forget.
Loads of laughs, a lot of fun and some great drams too!Peter Allison: Inside Woven’s Blending Room. Creating Flavour, Grain vs Malt and the Whisky Market Right Now
29/10/2026 | 1h 45 mins.It was great to get Pete back on for a chat. And what a chat it was.
We were down in the Woven Blending Room in Leith for this one hearing all about how things are going with Woven Whisky.
Pete also chatted through his time working at Edrington and the changes in the whisky market that he's experienced in his time working in whisky.
We spoke about the importance of blending, how blending whisky actually works and the power of grain whisky.
It's another cracker.Brendan McCarron: The Most Fascinating Career in Whisky - Roseisle, Oban, Ardbeg, Glenmorangie, Deanston, Bunnahabhain and Tobermoray
22/10/2026 | 1h 52 mins.Is there anything in whisky that Brendan McCarron hasn't done?
Brendan talks us through his career from a Diageo graduate to running the whole of Diageo's Islay Group. Creating Ardbeg An Oa, learning from Dr Bill Lumsden, distilling for Deanston, Tobermoray and Bunnahabhain, and then starting how own business.
His career has been an incredible journey and he's got some great stories from everything he's done.
Pour a couple of drams for this one.Controversial Whisky Opinions - No sitting on the fence for this one
15/10/2026 | 1h 31 mins.We wanted to talk through some controversial whisky opinions of our own and from our listeners.
It was a chance for the 4 of us to catch-up, have some drams and talk through some whisky opinions that might split the room.
I don't know if I should put a trigger warning on this episode, but some of the topics definitely caused some debate.
Pour a dram, sit back and give it a listen and tell us your own controversial whisky opinions.Not Another Whisky Distillery — Ian Palmer on Invergordon, Building Starlaw, Buying Glen Moray and Starting InchDairnie
08/10/2026 | 1h 45 mins.This episode blew my mind when we recorded it.
To say Ian Palmer has had quite a career is an understatement. Starting out as an apprentice Fitters Mate at Invergordon to Operations Director of the whole group, then building Starlaw, buying Glen Moray, and then eventually starting out on his own with InchDairnie Distillery.
There's so much to unpack in this episode. Just pour a dram, sit back and enjoy this one.
