This is a 'Special' Episode. 2 reasons. There is little to no craft in it and most of it is the Drams of a Glenlivet Single Malt with our visitors Kelley and Alan all the way from Nebraska. They know their stuff so if you are interested in the Drams and the 'correct' way to taste it then listen in as its very very informative and fun.
Coming up is the Gaelic Wool fest on 19-21 July in Benderloch Argyll. And me going to London Nest Yarn shop on 29 July. Message me if you want to meet up.
A regular episode will appear next week.
