Never taking itself too seriously, but offering an insider’s guide to the whisky industry via their ownership of the Glengoyne, Tamdhu and Rosebank distilleries with their accompanying brands of Smokehead, Sheep Dip, and Pigs Nose.
The 2 Gordons will be speaking to guests from within the company who make our single malt whisky, the wider industry, writers, retailers and personalities from around the world.
There will also be plenty of regular features, but we also want you to get in touch with questions and areas that you want us to cover in future episodes.
Fun, informative and for all – Whisky Unscripted.
