It’s not intentional but we often talk about people, places and products that are already out there on this podcast. So for our penultimate episode of the season, we’re flipping that and going for things that may not immediately be on your radar. But should be.

Like Harp of Darkness, a black Irish whiskey from the chaps at Master of Malt, and Atheras Spirits, a boutique range of botanical amaro and liqueurs distilled in Industrial City, New York.

Listen to our brand new episode on your favourite podcast channel or direct right here…

Botanicals are also front and centre in Danny Childs inspiring book ‘Slow Drinks – a field guide to foraging and fermenting seasonal sodas, botanical cocktails, homemade wines and more’, while top-notch music (live and vinyl) and no-nonsense classic cocktails are at the core of the deliciously low key, high value Birds in New York

And on to our guests… We’re thrilled to welcome Denny Kallivoka and Dimitris Alpanezos, the bright minds behind Vision, a pioneering, much needed platform they’ve created to make hospitality spaces more inclusive for people who are blind or partially sighted. Listen to the stories behind them and show them some love – trust us, they’re all f.a.b.
