Mike and Duncan hand over control to Paul Main... whisky legend in his own right and brand ambassador for Hunter Laing and Ardnahoe.

We are putting a Whisky Geek Warning on this one. Paul guides the chaps through the new Ardnahoe Feis Ile botting and gives a sneak preview of the future releases.

There's a quiz on toast, much debate about how good surfing is the watch on the box and speculation that it might have been sunny in Glasgow.

Also, big shout out to Colin of Tipsy Midgie for his chocolate and whisky menu!

Is there another Distillery names after it's water source?
