  Still Talk's Dave introduces Neil to the true art of dowsing. This well known mystical act of divination called dowsing gets explored here. You can call it dowsing, divining, divination, doodlebugging, water witching. Using dowsing rods we see if we can find anything. Neil had never tried this properly and here we see the results, despite the guidance given by Dave, Neil can categorically say that it works. Watch the video, make up your own minds and add comments please.  You can see Dave and Steph recent visit to the Blue Pool here https://youtu.be/seJIBkv9sfY 

 Still Talk Dave & Neil happen to have a bottle of GlenAllachie 7 year old whisky. We give this a wee taste and let you know our thoughts on whether to add water to this dram.

A couple of tarts make their first appearance too.  https://theglenallachie.com/whisky/the-glenallachie-7-year-old-hungarian-virgin-oak/

THE GLENALLACHIE 7YO HUNGARIAN VIRGIN OAK From Batch 3 of their Virgin Oak Series, they are proud to present an innovative single malt which enjoyed secondary aging in Hungarian oak. Master Distiller Billy Walker’s search for the unusual led him to the mountains of northeast Hungary to the Zemplén forest. Its rocky volcanic soil, along with its colder climate and higher altitude, means that the trees in this region grow very slowly, giving the oak a tight grain – a desirable trait for aging spirit.  Keen to experiment with this rare oak, the barrels were toasted and charred to a medium level before hosting our complex spirit. One of the world’s first single malts finished in Hungarian virgin oak (Quercus Petraea), expect an aromatic, well-balanced and wonderfully unique whisky delivering silky smooth richness.  Bottled at 48%, natural colour and non chill filtered.  TASTING NOTES COLOUR Golden.  NOSE Bursting with butterscotch, citrus and milk chocolate, with cinnamon, raisins, orchard fruits and ginger.  TASTE Lashings of heather honey and cinnamon, followed by chocolate, lemon drops and caramelised brown sugar.

Still Talk have received no reward or payment for this video.
