MITCH AND DAZ'S MAY BANTER

Mitch and Daz catch up after a packed festival season, They recap Spirit of Speyside’s, Mitch’s chaotic-but-fun Tormore launch and plans to expand their sold-out “Battle of the Ambassadors” into a winter tournament, “The Road to Speyside,” with heats and a final at the festival. Daz recounts Fèis Ìle highlights at Laphroaig’s 40th anniversary tastings and Bowmore events, including a boat trip on Loch Indal and a 1969 Bowmore dram. They taste three whiskies: Chivas Charles Leclerc 16 (40%), Raasay Hungarian Oak (50%), and SMWS “A Belter for America” Tullibardine 10 (61%). They announce being shortlisted for the Scottish Podcast Awards, discuss Tormore’s new releases, the Bon Accord closing, Woven’s new Leith blending experience, and Glen Cairn’s leadership change, then tease upcoming episodes and a giveaway of a Ferrari cap plus whisky samples for reviews.00:00 Whisky Stories Banter00:48 New Theme Tune Debate02:23 Show Intro and Catch Up03:55 Festival Season Rundown05:31 Tormore Launch Chaos08:10 Road to Speyside Plan12:24 Three Drams Lineup13:51 Chivas x Leclerc Collab17:52 Fèis Ìle Highlights23:57 Feis vs Speyside Vibes27:33 Raasay Island Escape29:11 Hungarian Oak Tasting Notes31:41 Warehouse Night Stories32:53 Podcast Award Shortlist34:35 Whisky World News Roundup36:43 Edinburgh Whisky Experiences Boom38:32 Glen Cairn Leadership Change39:40 World Cup Whisky Bottling44:28 Deep Dives and Cooper Traditions46:57 Wrap Up and Listener GiveawayHosted by Mitch Bechard and Daz Haldane, this is where the whisky world gets pulled apart properly, with stories, insights, and the occasional bit of chaos along the way.🥃 New episodes every week(ish)🎤 Live shows & tastings across Scotland🎟️ Web: www.notanotherwhiskypodcast.com📩 Enquiries & partnerships: whiskypodcast@gmail.com📲 Follow us on InstagramSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/not-another-whisky-podcast.
