Swedish Whisky? We had no idea either so why not try it!

When preparing for this weeks show, Dave followed the Mackmyra distillery on twitter and within an hour, they followed back and asked if we were going to review their whisky. Upon being told that Episode 17 was going to be a review of the Special 6 Summer Meadow, they offered to provide us with an interview with their UK brand ambassador Richard Mckeand. The show had a last minute switch up and we made it happen. Nick and Richard had a good old chinwag about all things Swedish Whisky and Mackmyra. Sweden's first single malt distillery. This company is extremely interesting and isn't bogged down by the traditions of the old school whisky making nations, so they can do things a little differently.

As well as the interview, you'll hear Dave and Nick's full tasting notes as well as the expert advice from The Whisky God.

It's a whisky heavy show but there is also a thing: Dave.

Dave has released a new song, his first new song since November 2018. It's called 'Maggie Knows' and can be heard in all the usual places. Nick and Dave talk a little bit about the song, how it was written and how it was recorded. Nick played bass!
