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.

Inside Bowmore Hotel (Lucci's Whisky Bar) with Peter MacLellan Jnr.
Batch 6 Episode 7
2025-11-09 76 min
Whisky and storytelling go hand in hand and very often you associate a special dram with a moment, person, place or situation.
Peter MacLellan Jnr., who together with his family owns and runs Bowmore Hotel on Islay knows a thing or two about special drams and storytelling: Lucci’s Whisky Bar inside the hotel has become synonymous with the place itself and stocks an incredible and enormous selection of Islay whiskies. If there’s one Islay unicorn dram you have always wanted to try, there’s a good chance you will find it there – along with nice company and some stories from times gone by.
And to be honest, Bowmore Hotel itself is the place of many stories on its own, and we also still remember the first time we set foot into Lucci’s Whisky Bar during our very first visit to Islay. So quite naturally, a podcast with Peter had to happen at some point of our whisky journey.
So, pour your favourite dram, lean back, relax and enjoy some whisky and storytelling with Miri, Martin and Peter MacLellan Jnr. of Bowmore Hotel.
