Ep. 17 Time at Caol Ila, meeting with Jim McEwan, visiting ardnahoe, and an Ardbegian celebration!

  As if special/personalized treatment at Caol Ila wasn't cool enough, just a few miles away, Jim McEwan sets aside some time for us to show us the Ardnahoe Distillery site, and gives us an amazing tasting (thanks be to the wonderful Bryony Boyd for the hook up), and provides us with an interesting take on misconceptions. Finally our swimmers successfully complete their 8 day swim around Islay and Jackie Thomson gives us and our swimmers the most royal of treatments. So, as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation! Special thanks to: - Weigh Down for allowing us to use their song "Wooden Monsters" as our theme song - Moana McAuliffe for designing our Podcast Logo - Blue Yeti for making great microphones - RØDE for making *really* great microphones - Olympus and Tascam for making fine mobile recording devices - Joshua Hatton for producing and editing - Leaves of Lothlorien, Joshua's old band from the 90's, for allowing us to use their cover of Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas' "Brothers"
