Episode notes
In this episode we’re chatting about whiskies released in partnership with musical artists and bands including Metallica, The Pogues and Bob Dylan. We’re also very happy to welcome back Richard McKeand, Brand Ambassador of the Swedish distillery Mackmyra who kindly sent us two of their whiskies created in partnership with hard rock bands Motorhead and Scorpions. Can whiskies made in collaboration with musical artists be any good? We find out.
