The League of Good Spirits Podcast

On this week’s episode, we’re going to talk about the San Francisco World Spirits Awards, the results for which were released at the end of last month. I’ll share some of my hot takes on those proceedings.

On this week’s episode, we’re going to take a bit of an in-depth look at one of single malt’s more recent participants: Milk and Honey Distillery in Tel-Aviv, Israel.

Welcome to the League of Good Spirits Podcast! On this week’s episode: some much publicised and much awaited news: Strathearn Distillery have released their first single malt - we’ll take a look at what we know so far; next, we’ll do a wee primer on Mezcal; lastly, Whisky Advocate launched their grain-to-glass recommendations for getting into the Earth Day spirit (pun most definitely intended), so I’m going to counter with my own, and throw in some organic recs as well. 

This week in spirits news: the Federales have raided the home of the husband-and-wife founders of Tequila Matchmaker with CRT officials looking on; Templeton Distillery is set to release their first house-made stuff, but it isn’t what you think it is; March’s Single Malt Whisky Auction shows bad news for the high-end market (or is it good news?) and finally, we’ll say goodbye to Gordon & MacPhail’s former chief and whisky legend, Ian Urquhart.

On this week’s episode, Spring has Sprung, and so we’ll be talking about a couple of timely rebirths which have taken place in the world of whisky, namely Port Ellen and Rosebank. We’ll also be looking at a tequila that I think you should be making your margaritas with as the weather warms up!

In this episode, we go through three Irish brands that I think you should know about for St Patrick's Day, if you don't already.

Episode 2 - "Women's Day & Wild Atlantic Whiskey" On this week's episode, we’ll be bidding farewell to John Glaser’s storied career as he steps away from leadership at Compass Box; for International Women’s Day, I’ll be going over one of my favourite people in Whisky: Dr Rachel Barrie; and we'll finally be doing a quick look at the Wild Atlantic Whiskies from Kinsale Spirits Co.

Episode 1 - "Pilot" On this first episode of the League of Good Spirits Podcast, we're setting the groundwork for a news + reviews based informational podcast regarding the craft spirits world. We also learn that Charles can't pronounce Spanish or Portuguese, hates vodka, and is madly in love with the word "big".
