Happy new year dear listeners! It’s been quite some time since our last episode, apologies. We have a belter for you to make up for the long sabbatical available on iTunes and Soundcloud. Andrew Lennie, Lindores Abbey brand ambassador and bartending extraordinaire was kind enough to invite Jamie and I to the spanking new whisky distillery to drink lashings of new make and aquavitae. We got a little bit minging by the end of this one, but we had a hell of a time chatting about the decline of pubs and Andrew’s career in the industry. Enjoy!
