On this episode we're honored to be joined by Rob and Calum from Holyrood Distillery located in Edinburgh. Not only do we sample their amazing Embra and Ambir whisky, we also chat about Scottish weather, starting a distillery in Edinburgh, a business for the people, why time flies when you’re making whiskey, Edinburgh as a landing point, the responsibility of the distillery, complete whisky geeks, the hospitality of the Scottish people, Brewing being in the city’s DNA, getting inspiration from the entire whisky community, the future of whisky is experimentation, the difficulty of painting with colored pencils, the unseen whisky magic, the peated whisky arms race, our new favorite word - claggy, getting the stamp of approval from a Scottish gran, the malt elevator, everyone's infatuation with age, the challenges of distilling in Edinburgh, and being willing to engage in the collective whisky making experience.

Episode #292

On this episode we have a dram or two of Johnnie Walker Black Label and talk about fashion advice, GRWM Nick style, bibrant socks, blended scotch, appreciating the branding, 29 different distilleries?, an entry into smoke, calm down on the $200 12 year bourbon, why do you not like scotch?, why we’re not meant for omniscience, threads between episodes, is knowledge a good thing?, are we worse off when we know more, the information overload, the internet is a library, filters, escaping the awful news, keep the news boring, we're meant to live in small communities, a Star Trek utopia, the utilitarian nature of the home, do you know your neighbors, hyperconnectivity does not mean you’re more attuned to the bad things, the firehose of information and content, and why we need to strengthen relationships with those around us.
