MITCH & DAZ MARCH CATCH UP

Mitch and Daz kick off their first proper catch-up of the year (with zero planning and maximum hair compliments), swapping updates on travel and work: Daz recaps a Dublin weekend that somehow involved more Guinness than Irish whiskey, while Mitch recounts a hectic run of podcast recordings, a corporate tasting, a long drive to see Bladnoch and the new Galloway Distillery, visits with Charlie MacLean , and his first festival since 2017, the Independent Whisky Festival. They then rip through whisky news: InchDairnie becomes a certified B Corp; Denmark’s Stauning starts making gin; GlenAllachie releases a 35-year-old; two Karuizawa casks sell for £4.25m; The Dalmore reopens to guests April 27; Bruichladdich marks 25 years since reopening with Old Skool 10-year-old; Glenrothes launches a 56-year-old; Ricky Gervais-backed Ellers Farm debuts Three Ridings (sold via a pricey Evolution Collection); Glen Moray releases Forbidden Fruit Calvados finish; and World Whiskies Awards nod to winners Joel Harrison, Gary Mills, and Bowmore 21 as best whisky in the world, plus talk of a potential live Edinburgh “battle” vs Whisky Stories.00:00 Cold Open Banter00:05 First Catch Up Of Year00:52 DA Updates And Travel01:02 Dublin Weekend Recap02:18 Busy Week In Scotland03:15 Indie Spirits Festival Highlights05:34 Whiskey News Roundup Begins05:55 InchDairnie B Corp Milestone07:16 Denmark Distillery Goes Gin08:11 Martinis And Bar Legends09:02 GlenAllachie 35 Year Release10:34 Karuizawa Casks Auction Shock11:52 Auction Buzz and Banter12:15 Ollie Stories and Podcast Tease13:34 Dalmore Reopens Visitor Experience16:10 Bruichladdich Old School Release17:46 Glenrothes 56 Year Decanter19:13 Ricky Gervais Celebrity Whisky24:17 Glen Moray Calvados Finish25:53 Awards Season Shoutouts27:13 Live Podcast Battle Plans28:41 Wrap Up and Listener ThanksHosted by Mitch Bechard and Daz Haldane, this is where the whisky world gets pulled apart properly, with stories, insights, and the occasional bit of chaos along the way.🥃 New episodes every week(ish)🎤 Live shows & tastings across Scotland🎟️ Web: www.notanotherwhiskypodcast.com📩 Enquiries & partnerships: [email protected]📲 Follow us on InstagramSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/not-another-whisky-podcast.
