In this episode Sean and I get the pleasure of chatting with a good industry friend of ours, James Bornn. He Ambassadors some big name brands such as Glenallachie, Compass Box, Benromach, Michter's and more. Although, even though he represents these world class brands, he always remains as approachable and humble as the enthusiast he is speaking or presenting to because he truly is just as passionate about the whisky as you are. We dabble a bit into everything in this episode with more of a focus on Glenallachie. We also taste through the first 5 batches of the Glanallachie 10 year range which was a very interesting exercise! James truly is a breath of fresh air in this industry, so we plan on having him on a lot! Cheers!

After partnering on a Woody Creek SIngle Cask Bourbon with Ryan Jespersen - local celebrity and host of a top 5 podcast in Canada, Real Talk. We figured it was now time for some real podcasters to school him in the trade and find out what makes him tick. Ryan Jespersen is an admired media personality in this country that has spent time across all mediums. His larger than life personality is very contagious so here is hoping his success is as well. This is easily one of my favourite recordings to date!
