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!

Hallo there! Well, it’s been a while... about two whole months without a new podcast. You must be jonesing for inane drinks banter in a Glaswegian accent! We’ve been busy beavers, but we’re back. Grapefruitier and Cheesier than ever. This week we have a very special guest; Jägermeister Master and all round top gentleman Jon O’Connor. It’s a bit of a wild one, guys. We drink a whole bottle of the German stuff, a whole bottle of mead, Negronis, beers... we get a tad rough and rowdy by the end but it was one of mine and Jamie’s favourite podcasts ever! Like and share, and like our page and share our page! Please enjoy, dear listeners.
