However despite the seeming rude health of the category they sound the alarm over the ever escalating speculative frenzy between flippers, fraudsters and brands who are fulling the fire.Host Will Keating sits down for an exclusive and in depth interview with Pete Allison and Duncan McRae from Woven Whisky. They are bringing an independent and conceptual take on the traditional art of blending with stunning success in their first year in business. However despite the positive momentum in almost all sectors of the industry, they are cautious about some of the hype that is bringing short term gains for some in Whisky but at the cost of long term stability and growth. We get int the nitty gritty but there is a positive story there in the end and a world exclusive on their plans for a future beyond Scotch.On our usual Desert Island Drink slot, we talk to a man with the broadest set of interests that we have encountered in the industry, Jamie Ryder.
