S03-Ep.63 Banter with Waiheke Whisky

G'day everyone and welcome to another episode of Banter over Whisky! We were lucky enough to sit down with Waiheke Whisky recently and get a run down on their story, their whisky and their plans. Mark Izzard is one of the founders and we really appreciated the opportunity to discuss the Distillery with him. He and his Partner Ro are deemed the dreamers of the venture, but they have already turned a lot into reality. Patrick Newton also joins us directly from the distillery, we suspect that he is still working although it’s already fairly late into the night. Patrick’s background is in wine and he definitely brings a pretty cool perspective to his role as head distiller and of course the conversation. We are also lucky enough to taste a range of the whisky supplied by Will Pitchforth who is working with Waiheke on distribution as well as other things. This episode was a real opportunity for us to learn an out Waiheke and we hope that you find it educational as well or at least entertaining as we had a lot of fun. Anyway we hope you can sit and listen with a dram in a comfortable chair, but of course you can listen almost anywhere, wherever you listen we trust you will enjoy the Banter over Whisky.
