This week we blast off with an indie bottling from The Whisky Barrel, the interestingly titled “Houston, we've had a problem”, Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled at Highland Park. A whisky released to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 13 mission in 1970. Bottled at the cask strength of 61.3% ABV, this single cask offering could be used as rocket fuel but how does it taste?

This week we take a step back in time, as we revisit four whiskies from The New Zealand Whisky Collection which Nick tasted back in Episode 1, The South Island Single Malt, The High Wheeler, The Dunedin Double Wood and the mighty Oamaruvian. So now Dave and Nick can actually get together again, it's time for them to taste these four drams in each other's company for the first time… yes, Nick actually shared his Whisky with Dave, it must have been a special occasion! We also revisit our 2019 interview with former NZWC employee Matt Wicks to guide us through these excellent drams once again.

Dave finally made it to ‘Nick's Bar' so it means we can finally crack open our Chivas Whisky Blending Kits and have a go at being “Master Blenders”… How hard can it be? Of course we'll be having a little taste of how it should be done by sampling a dram of the Chivas Regal 12 Year Old Blended Scotch before we crack on! We have 4 of these Blending Kits to give away, courtesy of Chivas Regal.

This week we welcome our good friend Danny Gruff back onto the podcast, and not only that, the three of us will be sitting in the same room, at the same bar together… what a treat! So to mark this occasion we thought we'd crack out the big guns in the form of the Redbreast 12 Year Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, Cask Strength at 57.6% ABV, as well as the 40% standard version for a little comparison. So yeah, we have a catch up over one of our favourite whiskeys… Happy Days!

Dram packed show this week as we taste the new seasonal offering from Nc'Nean, in the form of the Annabel, the debut bottling from their Quiet Rebels series.

This week we discuss the influx of orange onto the whisky shelves, both in flavour and in aesthetics. Orange flavoured ‘spirit drinks', orange labels and styling seems to be everywhere at the moment for better or worse. We also try one of the key components in the Johnnie Walker blends in the form of the Cardhu Gold Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky… We chat about it's taste, value for money, and most interestingly… (Hopefully)... it's history!

After our visit to the Whisky Show last week and Dave's very positive Bruichladdich experience, we thought we'd try a special dram from said Islay distillery that we've been very much looking forward to.
