Graeme, Angus and Ross are three friends who enjoy a dram and a chat in their local pub. We don't take ourselves too seriously and tend to invite a special guest along each week to chat about their experience in whisky.
The 'What 3 Drams' feature of the podcast dives into three specific whiskies close to them and discuss the story behind them.
