    Cask Strength Meets Head Buyer for Cask Investment Firm | PATRICK FISHER - ELITE WINE AND WHISKY

    The first of many interviews to come will be uploaded to all the normal podcast platforms and also Youtube 🎥 So if you fancy watching the podcast instead of listening follow the link below to our YouTube channel. Yes we’ve finally figured out how to work zoom and decided it was an appropriate time to interview Patrick, Head buyer at Elite Wine and Whiskies - a whisky cask investment firm. Given the news story that emerged recently from a certain whisky broker slating other whisky brokers over potential scams ✋ We thought it would be the perfect time to ask someone in the know so we can clear any questions up.  It’s undoubtedly true that there is some companies out there advertising unrealistic returns on cask investment. We decided to ask Patrick, the Head Buyer at Elite Wine and Whisky, about: casks investment, realistic returns, potential scams (and what to look out for) as well as discussing our favourite drams and distilleries 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The first edition of “Cask Strength Meets..” will be uploaded to YouTube and your preferred podcast platform on Friday 2nd July 🍻 🥃 Massive thanks to Patrick for joining us and thanks again to Lloyd for helping us set this interview up.  Follow the link to our YouTube channel, Podcast platforms and to buy us a dram - https://linktr.ee/caskstrengthpodcast You'll find us on Instagram and Twitter - @caskstrengthpod Email enquiries to - caskstrengthpod@gmail.com Edited - Nathan Currie All views are our own.

    #9 - Bonus Bimber

    This episode features the hosts tasting a sample of Cask no. 1 from London based distillery, Bimber. Cask No. 1 is an ex-bourbon cask filled on the 26th May 2016. Bimber's process has evolved over time so the equipment involved in creating the first batch of spirit differs from the one currently in place. A piece of modern history is being tasted here - its likes may never be seen again...  The hosts also chew the fat surrounding Scotland exiting the Euros (the football championship not the union), English distilleries, Warminster maltings and Whisky writers as we explore this unique dram and the distillery itself. Sit back, relax, grab a dram and enjoy the show. Slàinte.  Thank you to the team at Bimber for sending a sample from the first cask ever filled.  Follow the link to our YouTube channel, Podcast platforms and to buy us a dram - https://linktr.ee/caskstrengthpodcast You'll find us on Instagram and Twitter - @caskstrengthpod Email enquiries to - caskstrengthpod@gmail.com Edited - Nathan Currie All views are our own.
