The best whisky stories come from whisky that you shouldn't really have...

In this clip, Charlie Hume tells the unbelievable story of how whisky from a tanker ended up being saved in Irn-Bru bottles… and what it turned out to be.

This story involves Macallan 18, cask strength, straight from the cask — and a moment we genuinely didn’t see coming.

Scotland got the latest of late call ups to the T20 World Cup in India.

And I just happened to be there when they arrived and managed to catch up with some of the guys in the team hotel.

We chatted cricket, whisky, and HUGE day in sport that will never be repeated or seen again.

While in India, we travelled to the outskirts of Bangalore to support Scotland during their T20 World Cup warm-up match against Afghanistan.

What followed was not quite the cricket experience we expected.

Armed with a Scottish Saltire, a tuk-tuk and a bag of whisky, we made our way through Bangalore for what we thought would be a great day of cricket.

The Scotland vs Afghanistan T20 World Cup warm-up turned out to be a closed-door match, so we ended up watching the game from outside the ground with local fans. Thankfully with a few drams to enjoy along the way.

A very Scottish way to experience cricket in India during the T20 World Cup build-up

#whiskystories #scotlandcricket #t20worldcup #cricketindia #travelvlog

While I’m out in India, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to dive deep into Indian whisky and, the good folks at Paul John Distillery were more than happy to help.

After a flying visit into Goa to meet Master Distiller Michael D’Souza and get a full tour of the distillery (check out the vlog for this), I was invited to the Paul Hotel back in Bangalore for a chat and some drams with the Paul John Global Brand Ambassador Heemanshu Ashar.

Heemanshu talked me through his own beginnings and journey into whisky, and then talked about how Paul John started out.

Despite Paul John Distillery only being open from 2012, the whisky gets itself all over the world. But I wanted to know how it all started, and who is Paul John?

Heemanshu talked us through the origins of the business and explained about Mr Paul P John and the overall business John Distilleries. Blended Indian whisky, Indian wine and now Indian single malt.

Heemanshu was also kind enough to let me try the new 2025 Christmas Edition which is finished in a Cream Sherry Cask.

Ever wondered how whisky is made in India?
Watch my latest vlog from the Paul John Distillery in Goa.
I'm given an access all areas tour of the distillery with Master Distiller Michael D'Souza who talks me through how they make 'tropical whisky'.

#whiskystories #pauljohn #distillerytour #distillery #goa #indianwhisky #india #singlemalt #singlemaltwhisky #pauljohnwhisky #interview #vlog

We’ve talked about getting Cody Reynolds back on the podcast for a long time.

But the Angus Dundee Global Brand Ambassador is a busy man travelling the world spreading the good word of Glencadam and Tomintoul.

Cody was our 5th episode when he first came on the podcast on the 9th of November 2023.

He was our first Brand Ambassador to come onto the pod as well.

One of the things that I remember most about that episdoe was Cody explaining the cycle of the whisky drinker. What makes that even more impressive is that even now, after 113 episode we are still referencing it.

There was a good amount of whisky consumed before, during and after the podcast and Cody was kind enough to bring in a Swedish drink that I can still taste now.

Cody has also birthed one of our next Games for the Pod with Cody Reynolds One Star Reviews!

Loads of fun on this one and lots of Glencadam, Tomintoul and general whisky chat.
