On this episode we move a bit away from the usual whisky chat and talk with a legend within the adventure world who also happens to enjoy a wee dram. Aldo Kane is a World-Record-Setting Adventurer, Explorer, Fellow at the Royal Geographic Society, Producer, Author, and TV Presenter with a penchant for the world’s most dangerous, extreme, and remote locations. A former Royal Marines Commando Sniper, Aldo is an expert in all environments, making him the go-to man for TV and film companies around the world. Aldo has operated and filmed in well over 100 countries, so when things get tough in TV land, it’s Aldo they call.Over the last seven years, Aldo has worked on well over 45 TV and film productions, many of which were ground-breaking and fairly “tasty,” as he would have it. Aldo has been held at gunpoint, Charged by a black Rhino, Abseiled into an active volcano, escaped Ebola, rowed across the Atlantic, and dived on Captain Kidd’s pirate ship, and that’s just the last year or two.
Aldo has been on screen worldwide for many broadcasters, from the BBC to Discovery, Nat-Geo, Disney+, Channel 4, PBS, ITV, Channel 5, History Channel, and many more. Aldo has appeared on Discovery with Hollywood A-Listers like Tom Hardy, Adrien Brody & Henry Cavill in some of the most extreme environments on earth. With an inquisitive mind and unique skill set, Aldo is well suited for hard-hitting investigative journalism missions.
Aldo joined the Royal Marine Commandos at the age of 16 and went on to become one of the youngest Elite Commando Reconnaissance Snipers in the UK armed forces. No mean feat with the hardest and longest infantry training in the world. Aldo saw active military service from Northern Ireland to the Middle East and became a survival expert in many environments. Aldo has become an instructor in many outdoor fields, including Mountain Leader, professional climber, Skydiver, re-breather diver, SIA bodyguard & qualified medic.
