GODS OWNS COUNTRY - Back to the homeland W / Whittakers Distillery (Part 2)

Saison 2 · Épisode 17.5

dimanche 7 juin 2026 • Durée 45:53

Yorkshire! Yorkshire! Yorkshire!

It feels good to be breathing fresh air in the land of flat caps & whippets, real ale pubs, quaint villages and scenery that lends itself to the poets amongst us. I ventured down to Nidderdale in North Yorkshire to seek out a distillery that was unknown to me. It sits quietly off of the beaten track and boasts a hefty five thousand litre capacity which equates to one barrel per week!

Yes, you did hear that correctly.

This is a fun factory for the spirit chasers amongst us. Boasting a fully manual production, family grown barley and dunnage maturation; basically all of the good stuff.

Whittakers is the vision of Toby, Jane and Derek who are the pillars of the distillery. A small team with a playful approach to producing English Single Malt, but bare the calluses only good ole graft will get you. This is not a business for the faint hearted, it comes with a great deal of responsibility, unpredictability and stress; but these guys would have you fooled with their unrelenting enthusiasm and pride in what they produce. That Yorkshire hospitality grips you as soon as you walk in the door and leaves you hailing Whittaker’s Distillery your new favourite, oh and the whisky is bloody great!

Have a listen, fill up’t car and tek trip but make sure tha takes some brass wi thi as tha won’t be leaving empty handed.

Slainte!

THE DRAMBLER - Old dusties, Elgin Whisky Club and stylish bottles w/ Matt Laird (Part 2)

Saison 2 · Épisode 16.5

dimanche 17 mai 2026 • Durée 54:23

Matt Laird, a man who has walked, hiked, camped and drank his way around this wonderful land. Scotland isn’t just whisky, lochs, highland cows, haggis and so on - it is the amalgamation of them all which creates a scene only artists can portray. Matt, also known as @thedrambler, gives us insight into his whisky rambling knowledge while pouring me some fantastic drams!

He founded the Elgin Whisky Club in 2025 and it has already garnered an enthusiastic, loyal community. Amongst all of the chat we follow tangents into murky waters of whisky fomo, collecting and indulging. Too many of us have caught the buying bug and many a time regretted it. It’s a blether for the curious explorers amongst us. This is a long one, so take your time and savour it.

WHEN PILGRIMS MEET - Stovies, Ardnahoe and Sgian-Dubh’s’ w/ Michael Gellie (Part 2)

Saison 2 · Épisode 15.5

jeudi 16 avril 2026 • Durée 48:19

A chance encounter forged an instant friendship on the well-trodden path to liquid eutopia. One afternoon, I received an email from a lucky Springbank ballot winner that would not only result in a new pal - but another whisky pilgrim with a heap of stories.

This episode is more akin to striking up a conversation with that stranger you meet in the pub, when you go for a quiet one. Michael paints a picture of his youth growing up around Aberdeenshire pre and post oil boom, its impact on the communities, their lifestyle and social structure. We get nostalgic about grannies cooking, debate the correct way to make Stovies and discuss a trail blazing new cocktail he has created.

Like a good book this episode invites you to keep turning the page to see what is next, and honestly, we could have recorded for hours. He shares the love for his wife and family in supporting his whisky hobby – also how important it is to have balance and discipline when indulging in such a luxury. The craft and unique quality of whisky isn’t the only thing which is engaging here; he produces a series of hand crafted items from cask clocks, stave signs and Sgian-Dubh’s with immaculate workmanship! Ladies and gentlemen I introduce his side hustle “Scotland’s Cask” another feather in his cap, featuring annually at various Highland games. Honestly just listen with an open mind, treat it as a casual chat between two new friends and enjoy.

A SENSORY COCKTAIL WITH A SHOT OF EMPOWERMENT! W / SAM STANIFORTH (Part 2)

Saison 2 · Épisode 14.5

dimanche 8 mars 2026 • Durée 47:08

Join me today as I chat with Sam Staniforth (surname I consistently get wrong) a mum, whisky nerd, sensory rebel and a voice for women in whisky!

Sam set off on a pilgrimage many moons ago and took the giant leap over the pond to Scotland. Originally from the US she embraced a culture, industry and dialect to which many a song was written!

But how do you find your feet in an industry that has carved many a beaten track for us to follow?

The obvious answer is SUPER POWERS, right?

Sam invites us to rewire our prescribed sensory systems and embrace our individuality. With a little guidance she hopes to open the conversation, encourage shouting out loud and say the “wrong” thing. Her lived experience with synaestetia and hyperphantasia are all the credentials she needs to create a new space in the drinks industry.

We meander through Sam’s journey, her company Vantage creative, OurWhisky Foundation, motherhood and of course a wee tipple. Pick a spot, take a seat and enjoy.

WE ARE BACK! 2026 with Josh Lavers (Part 1)

Saison 2 · Épisode 13

samedi 7 février 2026 • Durée 48:49

We often talk about the connection between whisky and its ability to ground us in a specific time and place, which can be said for most sensory experiences. Here, I talk with Josh Lavers as he indulges me with some of the drams which have shaped his journey to date. A young man who found himself at a crossroads, when his ambition to jump headfirst into the industry he loved, was abruptly paused. Battling cancer at the beginning of his production apprenticeship wasn’t what he had planned, to say the least.

Josh shows us how keeping life simple and doing it with a smile is the fastest way to appreciating it. We explore some wonderful distilleries (Wolfburn, Ballindalloch, Balmenach Glenmorangie) and use each one as a marker on his linear timeline, endorse the wonderful charity Friends of Anchor, who supported Josh through his treatment, oh, and we drink some bloody good whisky.

Some stories need a few drams and time to savour them, that’s why this one will need a part two. It’s a rocky road ahead, let’s not rush it.
