Episode 71 is here and we’re feeling festive! This week we chat all about how to make mulled wine that tastes decent, Irish Cream Liqueur - how do you drink yours?! and free gin cocktails! Listen in here…
What’s In Our Glass?
This week it’s Deanston 18 year old! Recently crowned Whisky of the Year 2022 in a blind tasting, Deanston 18 year old is matured for 18 years, including a finishing period in first-fill Kentucky bourbon casks and bottled without chill-filtration, this is a rich, luxurious whisky with notes of vanilla and sugary shortbread. Try a dram alongside your mince pies or an apple and pear crumble. Nom!
ABV: 46.3%
Size: 700ml
Find here: £69.99
Who’s The Third Drinker?
We have two ‘third drinkers’ joining us for episode 71. In the studio with us is Eulanda Shead-Osagiede, third drinker in The Three Drinkers in Ireland and travel content guru who is back from her trip to the orange groves of Portugal and eloquently explains her theory on how travel is a celebration of cultures. Check her out on Instagram at @heydipyourtoesin. We also catch up with Deanston’s Master Distiller Brendan McCarron who discusses his new challenges at Deanston and a ‘secret’ project! You can find him on Instagram at @mcc_brendan.
