    Ballantine’s

    You join me this episode from my armchair in my living room, thanks to a new podcasting setup, to taste a whisky that’s intrigued me for years, to think about what drives us to try and buy particular whiskies, and to confess that I’ve spent much of the time between the last episode and this in the arms of another spirit.

    The Tweeddale The Evolution 28 year-old blend

    In the first of five podcasts featuring a broad selection of samples from Independent Spirit in Bath, I taste a gloriously smooth and creamy 28 year-old blend from the south east of Scotland, plus, why whisky is better for you than a banana *tongue in cheek emoji*

    It’s my birthday, so I finally opened the 21 year-old Hibiki I brought back from Japan. I was not disappointed. Plus, the two ways whisky can get its colour.

    Yamazaki raw spirit & Hakushu 18 year-old

    In the second of three special podcasts from my trip to Japan, we taste the raw spirit – the stuff you get before it’s aged in barrels – and some stunning 18 year-old Hakushu. Plus, what is a spirit safe?
