“If you are a whiskey nut, this is a must listen. Mark is not particularly likeable and his jokes are horrible but he does being a lot of important news. The reviews on products that advertise for him is such a red flag. Most real journalists would find a way to be unbiased… but maybe in this new...”Read full review »

“Great podcast. I was hoping to hear Marianne come the podcast. I had to look at their ig account only to find that she’s no longer there. How sad that you didn’t mention her since she was there from the beginning and came on “Neat” showcasing Kentucky bourbon. What gives?”

“The host has some good interviews and insights on the industry but I find he can be over apologetic. He will often lean hard to the left on supposed gender equality issues bowing to the woke. Of course this has been over much of the last two years at which I have turned away from many of the...”Read full review »

“This is one of the best podcasts around for any subject. Gillespie is knowledgeable of the subject; has great relationships with the industry bigwigs but never comes across as biased…he has opinions but is clear when he is presenting opinions vs facts. When he conducts interviews he lets the...”Read full review »

“Thanks for your comments about WhiskyCast. As the host, I’d like to respond to your comments about “politics” in the show. We keep political views out of the podcast, and only report on politics when it affects whisky (such as the recent trade disputes that led to tariffs being imposed on...”Read full review »

“The NPR of the Whiskey World. For the most part it’s relaxing and enjoyable, just like your favourite dram.
However, I knocked off a star because the podcast is always looking for a way to connect their hate of President Trump and their hysteria over climate change to you drinking your dram. And...”Read full review »

That turned out to be Makers 46 and I think that was in 2010 or so. Wow, I guess I’ve been listening for nearly 9 years! And Makers 46...”Read full review »
