After our last three themed episodes we’re now back to our regular format – i.e. talking bottles, a book, a bar and a very special guest…

Our first bottle is Jin Jin – a non-alc, enzymatic cordial. We follow that with Chivas Regal Crystalgold coming in at 40%abv and intriguingly the first clear spirit from Chivas Regal…

With a nod to the last few days of Dry January our book, an oldie but a goodie, tells you everything you could want to know about lighter drinking. It’s ‘Low Alcohol Cocktails – New Frontiers in Mixology’ by Diego Ferrari.

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

And to warm up on a cold winter’s evening we headed to The Winter Chalet at Rosewood London for some comforting food and delicious Singleton cocktails.

Finally, our guest is Katie Rouse – co-owner of Couch in Stirchely, who joins us to talk about the bar’s Couch Surf programme.

Tune in wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts or via the link above.
