This week Alan McLoughlin has provided a couple of the drams, as we give some of the best English whisky a blind test. Can Amy and Angus spot which ones are not Scotch and will they spot the supermarket special?!This time we're tasting Loch Lomond Original, Bamber Ex-Bourbon Cask Batch 2 and Cotswolds 1st fill ex-bourbon & STR ex-red wine.

After a long break due to busy lives, we welcome Edinburgh based American stand up, Krystal Evans into the Sipping Point Snug, to discuss her dream dram, where she'd drink it and who she'd be joined by for her dream dramming experiencePaul Whitson has once again provided one of these drams as we taste Deeside Chocolate Grain by Ardent spirits, Four Roses single cask bourbon and Highland Park 10 (Viking SSchool as). Can the guys spot the supermarket special and spot the non Scottish dram?
