vPub Live - All Roads Lead to Campbeltown - a Tour of the Wee Toon

  • Опубликовано: 8 апр 2020
  • We take a virtual trip down the Kintyre peninsula to visit Campbeltown and ask - with only three distilleries, how has such a small town had such a huge impact on whisky? We'll also look at how unique and compelling the whiskies are while having a chat about the very curious history, trials and tribulations of this protected locality of Scotch whisky.
    I say "we" because I have reached out for knowledgable support for this one. I'm excited to be welcoming back Roddy as we adhere to social distancing and dial in remotely. I know you'll be pleased to see him too, especially since he seems to be feeling all better.
    Hope to welcome you Thursday!

    These extended conversations with people who really know what they are talking about are priceless. In a world of instant RUclips wanna-be whisky experts, seeing the real deal is so revealing. Thanks Roddy and Roy!

    Idea for a vpub : how to discover the profile of distilleries w/out official bottlings (glenburgie for example)
    Great vpub as always, will catch it live at some point haha

    Wauw. Such a great vPub (I'm sorry... I seem to keep repeating myself as of lately with all the replays, I'm catching up with)
    So much fun, really (I think my previous comments are testament to that). It's not rocket science why the crowd loves Roddy so much, such a genuine and pleasant dude to listen to.
    My favorite 2 distilleries for the time being are Arran and Springbank (not in order of preference but in order of my "discovery"). And... I even yet have not even tasted a Longrow whisky, meaning that Springbank is right there at the top even at 2/3 "engine power". Such an impressive distillery in my eyes!
    Thanks, Roy. And... I love you Roddy! Just ordered the Springbank 12 yo CS batch 21 in honour of Roddy (thinking regularly about the whisky wuman video "Knee deep in Springbank")

    Lovely to hear two Glaswegians using the Scots language so beautifully. A 'scoosh'. What a great word. Roy - hadn't = "hudnae". I was born in Glasgow (actually Hamilton, Lanarkshire) but moved to Sydney when I was 10 years old. My late parents sounded like Roy and Roddy. In fact when I was a kid, I spoke the same language. I still understand it perfectly. I now live in Japan where the tax on whisky is very low by international standards😊 .Looking forward to visiting Scotland when this corona palaver is over.🤞

    Saturday April 11, 2020 - Catching the replay, sipping on Laphroaig Cairdeas Triple Wood Original Cash Strength as I am going through Islay whiskies right now. Enjoyed watching / listening while doing my taxes which are due on the 15th.... whisky talk and a wee dream makes doing this a bit more tolerable.

    Hi Roy, these vPub episodes with Roddy are just like honey. 😃 These discourse between the two of you is always interesting, insightful, natural and fun to watch. Maybe a monthly “Roy & Roddy Talk Whisky” as a regular feature in the vPub streams? (Or as a spin-off channel.)
    Cheers!

    Campbeltown, such a nice topic covered by two experts with many hats! I viewed this episode today (next day from live VPub). I also keep the comments open to sponge off the community. To add to Jimmy Legs comment ' I do envy Germans and Belgians when it comes to beer and I'm not a big beer guy' I live in Germany after finishing my stint in the Argylls. Not only is their a multitude of beers to choose from but there's also more Springbank on offer here than the UK! Result :-)
    Thanks for your time Roy and Roddy

    Fantastic vPub, Roy! Truly amazing how you have upped the opening hours and made this into a weekly. Great!
    How Roddy would be a great regular in the vPub! Maybe a Roddy feature would be a cool addition to the format. But then again you already easily go 3 hours without 'features'
    Keep up the visionary work Roy. No wonder Tomatin asked you to help. Like you said it the other night, the Test dummies (Scott) have left their legacy in whiskyland. Using live stream and guests. And now you have really taken it to the next level ;)
    PS: two whiskies at a party
    Peat = Bart !!!?
    Old Refill Sherried = Scott?
    Slainte!

    "Tore through at an alarming rate!" - interested to know what that rate is, for you, Roy. Have engaged with a couple of MALT articles about " the perils" of "drinking". Pre-Covid, was (arguably) too much. Post pre- apoca!ypse, playing catch up. Perspective is key, as ever. What a hobby! Slanjeevaurus 🐢
