I must admit that I was slightly concerned by the direction of conversation when you started talking about "Safe Spaces", welcoming "all" genders and asking people to leave if they break these rules. I was thinking, oh no, has the Whisky Exchange gone all Woke and fallen down that diversity, equity and inclusion rabbit hole which has destroyed many a great brand and could arguably be responsible for the Republican US Election victory recently. However, when I looked up the WhiskyShow website about Safe Spaces and Etiquette I found that it's talking about Responsible Drinking. I now understand her comments to mean the true meaning of diversity and not the DEI political mindset version. I think that Dawn was talking about real diversity of seeing both women and men at the show, the diversity of seeing different ethnic groups and different cultures and religions, all coming together in an atmosphere of mutual respect, to celebrate and enjoy the universal love of Whisky (in a responsible manner). I'm sure, [almost] everyone could support that kind of diversity.

A very insightful interview, the questions really focus Dawn Davies' story. She comes across as a lovely person and so genuine. So different to the cold commercial marketing person one would assume would be in charge of purchases at this massive online sprits store. I was fascinated by her accent as well. So English, yet she seems to slip into an American accent on certain words. I'm sure there's a story there. I could not agree more regarding experience in different alcohols. How can you you make an accurate assessment of any whisky unless you have that base point flavour experience of what different wines taste like, the difference between Fino, Oloroso and PX sherry. Port, Aged Rum and Bourbon. Without these, you cannot even begin to analyse the flavour components and how they interact with a Single Malt Whisky. Sounds intuitive doesn't it but not many even serious Single Malty Whisky lovers actually take the trouble to investigate the alcohols which make up the previous contents of those casks which influence the malt spirit so much.

Interesting her take on sales , my choices are probably the exact opposite she’s seeing in the market.

I loved the interview and more so enjoyed the hand gesturing battle 😂

Super passionate. What a great interview!

Oh, so exciting! Thanks for sharing this amazing trip! Hi from Ukraine. It's not easy to get these incredible Campbeltown whiskey brands here, but I have managed to get hold of Longrow 21 today, and I'm in heaven. I can only imagine what you have felt when testing the 32-year-old version!

Great interview! I’d love to visit Cotswolds Distillery. I really love the work they’re doing there. Very nice drams. I'm also curious to know where in Italy Rob worked (i’m italian 😂)

Another gem of an episode plus Ian is dominating life in a quilted sweater 😉 & Rob rocking a “Baron’s” beard Definitely would be interested to try this brand… yet to see it in the states where I’m at unfortunately 😔

Ahh living on the otherside of the world I'd love to be able to visit these distilleries!! Maybe One day, until then these videos will need to do 🙂

Love the cotswolds, the sherry cask is fantastic

The honest discussion about STR was brilliant. The benefit to a new distillery is obvious but I don’t know if I’d discount the concerns about STR as myth. I visited a Cotswolds shop a year ago and the tasting was fruity and pleasant but dominated by the STR character. Glad to hear they have a 7 year and some small batch diversity at the distillery. I’m sure the tourist demand is high, but look forward to increased variety and more mature Cotswolds in the future.

Great interview with Rob. So passionate about what they’re doing at the Cotswolds Distillery. Have to admit other than a few samples I haven’t tried much. Definitely going to look more into what they’re doing. Can’t wait to try some more. Some of those special releases they’re planning sounds very good!!

I’m sure Jim Swan was a main character in the Filey Bay Distillery. They use STR also. I’ve tried Cotswold and it’s a decent dram. Also got a bottle of Filey Bay IPA whisky and that’s also a decent drink. Would be class to have a side by side taste event with just English whiskey.

I visited the distillery a few months ago. Had a great time, lovely and passionate people. Also took home that hand filled ❤

👍

Good interview enjoyed watching it.

Brilliant interview with Rob being super passionate and insightful as ever. Cotswolds are doing everything right and it is reflected in the bottles. Cheers.

A great place to visit, highly recommended 👍

Jura single malt. Is my favourite.

Love the tour videos!

Great video. I've visited many distilleries over the last 15 years or so, Glengoyne was the first one I ever went to. Haven't been for a few years, must go back soon, it's a lovely place and the whisky's not bad either!

Looks like you had great day there and would love to sit and chat to the staff over a few Drams bet they would have some good whisky stories to tell thanks for going there

Thanks for the content Posh Scotch!

Excellent Gents. Lovely walk around a beautiful distillery. 👌

I wonder if you got a taster of the batch #10 Teapot Dram & if so would you purchase it for £140?

Thanks Jake and team. An absolute cracking video of the whole Glengoyne distillery. With the two Gordons, it was Whisky Unscripted meets the Whisky Baron ! Great drams. 👍

Jake at Glengoyne in the middle of October. Surely to pick up a Teapot. Dram of the year?

👍

Great episode as usual 👍

Its a ooooshh from me! Super video and chat with Gordon.

Great episode again. Thanks. Stopped at Glengoyne when on our way to Campbeltown last march. Really like their whiskies. Have the CS, 21 and Teapot at home. Pure quality to enjoy.

Wonderful tour gents. I have to say, I was really impressed by their wall of progressive annual whisky’s. What an excellent way to demonstrate cask influence over time and the effects of time and angel share. Well done.

Did the Master Blender's Tour there a number of years ago - excellent time. Wonderful setting. Friendly staff. Great traditions. :)

Another wonderful close up tour! The Baron’s beard flowing stinking of sweet malt 😂

Been there. Great tour

So which element has the greatest bearing on the colour of the liquid, the cask, or the previous fillings? I ask because Charlie Maclean's view is that the colour is only coming from the wood. But if that were the case, why doesn't the AO ex-Bourban casks impart a reddish Hue to the whiskies in the display?

Do these guys sparge? you didn't say. Great video mate thanks for the tour.

Love that room in Warehouse 1 with the Bottles illustrating the aging. Great visual aid !!

Another top tier upload guys!

got a 23 year old one....

Another great video mate. Some great expressions come out of this distillery the 21 is a personal favourite, interesting to hear they are only 1 million litres and would have thought that would have been more.

Brilliant video guys well done , Glengoyne is a distillery i really must visit asap.

Great tour of what looks like a fabulous distillery! And one who knows exactly how and what they want to achieve. So clear in their processes to know they could make more but it would be to the detriment of there spirit. Another great episode!! Hope there’s lots more like this to come.

The distilleries are lucky to have you guys visiting! You show the brands, their whisky and history with the passion it deserves!

What a lovely tour, and credit to the staff for their input. Whilst I still have some Glengoyne in my collection (heels), I now see it as one of my gateway whiskies in the sherry matured domain. Also something I am unlikely to buy anymore. It suffers from being at 43%, and whilst we applaud the natural color there is no mention of chill filtration. There are so many other sherried whiskies to choose from now that are affordable and comparative, that Glengoyne no longer stands out.....I am thinking of Glendronach, Glenallachie, Edradour and Aberlour. Ultimately I think the marketers at Glengoyne should consider 46% and the return to a 750ml bottle size. When out and about, say at a bar or restaurant, I would have no hesitation in ordering a Glengoyne and would be confident in it. But with so many high quality sherry matured whiskies available, I don't see me buying any for my home collection, but lovely to see the distillery......thanks for a great video, cheers Charlie

Not gettting any nice vibes at all. Harsh, aggressive and acts like he owns the place. Not enjoyable at all. This video does not sell any Glengoyne..

Hey, greets form Germany. Your Content is gorgeous as always. Keep it on. But pleas groom your beard it doesn't match your appearance, would suite you much more :).

Loved the video.

Wow! What a shop 🤩 Cheers!
