This is a special episode! Mike and Duncan had the opportunity to an exclusive tasting session accompanied by Michael Henry, aka Michelle 'Enry, Master Blender, and Nick Bradley, Prestige Portfolio Manager, from The Loch Lomond Group.

The chaps get to try some spectacular, once in a lifetime whiskies. The new Elements of Campbeltown, Release No.1 Air. Limited to 100 individually numbered decanters, it is Glen Scotia's first ever 50 year old whisky. Distilled in 1973, and fully matured in refill American oak.

If that wasn't good enough Michelle and Nick pulled out a Loch Lomond 50 year old, matured in a careful selection of refill American Oak and then first fill Bourbon hogsheads, before a final finish in the finest first fill Oloroso hogshead for over five years.

Mike and Duncan have been imparted with the power of creating Executive Orders to correct the World... What could go wrong?

The chaps discuss what's been in there glass and crack open some new bottles:

Mike cracks open The Chorlton Peallach(Ledaig) 8 y/o Rioja Barrique at 58.2%

Duncan cracks open the latest Summerton Whisky Club release Wolfburn Double Wood 11y/o at 52.5%

We also introduce a new section "Gareth's Whisky Corner" where we will recommend a good value whisky that we are happy to put someone else's name to.

As well as all of our usual bits we give a few shout outs to those who have bought us a dram. Thank You!
