Mike and Duncan eventually chat about blending whisky at home and it's safe to say the chaps have very different viewpoints methodologies.Also this week, we recap our wonderful evening of whisky and Cigars at JJ Fox in London. We were lucky to present three different Ardnahoe whiskies paired with a Rocky Patel Cigar.We got to meet some great people on the night, as mentioned in this episode, please head over to Instagram and check out @TheIronNomadAs well as that we discuss all the usual stuff as well as some thought on Whisky Live London.

This week Mike and Duncan tackle the hard hitting life questions—like, at what point does a prized collection cross the line into full-blown hoarding?

We cover off all the usual stuff such as what's been in our glass and up are arse!

• Collector or Hoarder?: The psychology behind why we keep what we keep.

• Nostalgia Trip: NFL cards, Pokémon, and the golden era of Pogs.

• Parenthood & Hobbies: Balancing family life and passing down the joy of collecting to the kids.

Grab a pour and tune in! Sláinte!

Have you visited The Malt Lounge in London? We went to a whisky and food pairing recently with drams from @wmcadenheads, Japanese inspired canapés, and cocktails mixed by the expert bar staff.

Tucked away within @theprinceakatokilondon, Marylebone, near Marble Arch, the ambience and lighting makes it a joy to spend an afternoon or evening.

Here's the menu for the montly tasting we attended:

Whisky high spritz Smoked belinis and celeriac remoulade

15 year old Ardmore Otoro tartare on lotus crisp

16 year old Glen Elgin Beef takaki, garlic crisps, negi ponza

10 year old Hazelburn Senbei, nashi pear compote

Malty panky Cheese selection.

Shout out to Murray, Sean, Gugliemo, and the staff. We may have stayed afterwards and had a few more expertly made cocktails, because we had so much fun. Loved seeing Tim too!

Whilst the tickets for us were free, this time (thanks), we spent a bunch on drinks apres event. Yes, that level of fun

Look out for events there upcoming. The next is a Bunnahabhain tasting on n Feb 26th. Give them a follow on @themaltlondon
