What the fudge? Our personal whisky rants.

Getting there…

This was an epic recording session by five of our Colonials: Rob, Stuart, Mike, Chuck and Gus.

In what started out as personal whisky rant catharsis, they meander through so many topics we’re certain this one will go down as a re-listenable classic.

With the canny insights of Gus on hand to keep things informed, they cover TAF (tired as fudge) casks, the current whisky loch, the challenges faced by today’s producers and ask the question: are whisky enthusiasts the problem?

They then wade into even crunchier topics such as authenticity, homogenisation, the origins of sulfur and which distilleries excite them.

Mike hosts the I Am A Distillery at the end, but clearly needs to read his Malt Whisky Yearbook to get up to speed on our northern distilleries. Forgive him, he’s a lovely man, really.

Thank you for your amazing support! Enjoy!

PS: this was, like the previous two, recorded a long time ago, bear with us - we’re catching up!

This wasn’t released early to Dramface Members as we’re kinda red faced about how late we are. Still, dear members - thank you for your support!

Wally Macaulay

Glaswegian Wally is constantly thinking about whisky, you may even suggest he’s obsessed - in the healthiest of ways. He dreams whisky dreams and marvels about everything it can achieve. Vehemently independent, expect him to stick his nose in every kind of whisky trying all he can, but he leans toward a scotch single malt, from a refill barrel, in its teenage years and probably a Highland distillery.
