  It's always good to catch up with Mark Thomson. In this episode, we dived into brand advocacy and asked if the Scotch Whisky Industry are moving away from it and whether that's a good thing or not. Mark is an award winning Brand Ambassador and has worked with massive global brands as well as smaller independent ones. He's also working with brands on a contract basis to help with advocacy and training. But are we losing the Brand Ambassador? And what does Mark think? Enjoy!

  Julieann Fernandez: Becoming a Master Blender at 28 — Bunnahabhain, Deanston, Tobermoray and Ledaig

  Aug 6, 20261h 51m

  This is a belter of an episode. Another Master Blender on the podcast and Julieann Fernandez gave us an amazing insight working for CVH. As well as being responsible for signing off on all the single malt and blended releases from the distilleries, she also travels the world representing the brands and talking to people about Bunnahabhain, Deanston, Tobermoray and Ledaig. We were also joined by Luke Fenton who is the Head of On Trade in the UK for CVH. So Julieann is responsible for getting the releases out and Luke is responsible for getting them sold. We were through in Glasgow for this one and managed to pop in quickly to the Pot Still Pub in Glasgow for a dram before and enjoyed some drams during the recording. Enjoy this one, it's an epic.

  Jul 30, 20261h 40m

  We were back in Diggers for a catchup and debrief from our Islay trip. This one got a bit messier than intended, but it was good to be back in the cellar chatting drams and telling Ross about how good the Islay trip was. We went through our own personal highlights from Islay, rated the distilleries on whisky, experience and merch. We answered listener questions and tucked into some fantastic drams.
