Mike and Duncan chat to drinks writer, photographer, TV star and a red chino ambassador, Colin Hampden-White.

We ask Colin about the use of Wine casks in the world of whisky, quiz him about his pudding island selections and delve into what he would change in the world of Whisky.

Obviously we cover off what's been annoying us and what has been in our glass with Colin, known from Amazon Prime's The Three Drinkers.

Mike and Duncan chat to Kieran Healey-Ryder, Head of Whisky Discovery at Whyte & Mackay. We talk about a whole host of topics from whisky to Taylor Swift... Mainly Whisky though. Kieran chats through what's new in the world of Whyte and Mackay, his pudding island drams and he recounts his travel disasters... the chaps also put him in the witness box about Jura! Mike and Duncan had a blast recording this one and the editing floor is laden with bants... they hope you enjoy what could make the final cut. Credit to EMI for the Spice Girls music sample... Yes that's not a typo. Shout out to Dave Broom who also got a techno mention!

After a two week "holiday" the chaps are back. Mike and Duncan chat about whether things were back in the 'Glory Days' or has modern technology created utopia?

Snakes alive we've hit 55! Mike and Duncan chat about the possibility of setting up a local whisky club, they chat through the latest release from Harris, The Hearach release 2 and they have their usual rants and recollections of thier week.

Whisky clubs... is whisky better shared? I guess it depends if it's the Loch Lomond Spanish Oak from Episode 53.

Mike and Duncan ignored Bruce Lee and invited the last surviving Wizard in Wales for a chat. Sean Williams from the Whisgi Wales podcast and organiser of the first proper lush Welsh Whisky Festival, takes the boys on a journey through Welsh Whisky. We guarantee there will be some names you've never heard of before.

We also take Sean on a stepping stone path to Pudding Island, stopping in his local pub on the way to grab his speedo's!

Croeso y Gymru.
