An entertaining and informative Scotch whisky show from Ian Macleod Distillers featuring Gordon Dundas, International Brand Ambassador and Gordon Dallas, Experiential Ambassador. Whisky Unscripted is an approachable podcast for all, not just the whisky aficionados. 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. Sound effects and music courtesy of Freesfx.co.uk

The 2 Gordon's are on the road quite literally with Gordon Dundas in a Mercedes on an Autobahn out of Hamburg with a rather expensive bottle of whisky strapped in the back seat. Meanwhile Gordon Dallas still in his 'sauna' plays audio from the recent whisky festival in Ayr Town Hall - Whisky An 'A That with Robbie's Dram Club.
You'll hear from Ambassadors (and a Master Blender) from Lindores, Glenfarclas, Tomintoul, Tomatin, Mackmyra, Benromach and The Glasgow Distillery as well as Robin the organiser and some happy attendees.
Now this is what podcasts were made for!
