The Restaurant Guys
Dr. Rachel Barrie, First Lady of Scotch
The Banter
The Guys talk about their introduction to scotch then later single malts and how it impacted them. Francis discloses an error in judgment that involved Scotch.
The Conversation
The Restaurant Guys share a dram with Master Distiller of Glendronach, Dr. Rachel Barrie prior to a scotch dinner at their restaurant. Listen if you want to know how a saxophone, brambles and the ghost of a Spanish lady relate to Glendronach.
The Inside Track
The Guys have Rachel in their restaurant for a Glendronach scotch dinner so they decided to record their conversation. They immediately bonded over their love of enjoying spirits out of a wine glass!
“I love this so much. You've got no idea how much I love this because I was trying to convince people exactly what you do. You guys are the best! In my 32 years making whiskey. No one else has brought out a wine glass. This is just complete synchronicity. It's just blowing my mind right now!” Dr. Rachel Barrie on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2024
