Scotland and whisky go together like fish and chips, biscuits and tea or gin and tonic.
On "Inside Whisky - The Barrel Talk" we talk to people working in the whisky industry and listen to their stories - may they be about whisky, their lives or the places they live in.
Our podcast might be a bit geeky from time to time but whisky beginners will also find joy when listening to The Barrel Talk.

What do classical music, vintage motorcycles, brambles, indulgent flavours and The Glendronach have in common…?
… They’re all things Rachel Barrie loves – and you can definitely feel that in this brand-new episode of “The Barrel Talk”.
For the episode with Rachel, Miri teamed up with Davide, better known as @whisky_munich on Instagram, while Martin and Manu are taking a break this time.
Rachel Barrie is a woman who does not need much introduction. She’s a legend in the whisky industry and the master blender of The Glendronach, so we were thrilled, when the opportunity arose to meet her for a chat in our hometown Munich.
You can feel from the very start how much Rachel loves being Glendronach’s master blender because for her, it is a perfect opportunity to combine the affection for her hometown with the art and science of creating great whisky (such as the stunning, new 40-year-old).
There was so much to talk about, ranging from Rachel’s love for whisky from early on to insights into the whisky industry after having worked in it for decades, and from Glendronach’s history to applying her knowledge about maturation and whisky-making to create “the ultimate sherry cask indulgence”.
So pour your favourite dram and don’t miss out on this absolutely “brambleous” episode.
