"The Angel's Share" is a Ken Loach masterpiece that blends social realism with a heartwarming narrative. And who better to discuss this film than Ewan Morgan, a man who knows a thing or two about the finer things in life, especially when it comes to whiskey.
As we unravel the layers of this captivating film, we'll also be sipping and discussing the Mortlach 20, a rare delight from Diageo that promises to elevate our cinematic journey. We'll share our thoughts, our tasting notes, and perhaps a few laughs along the way.
But this episode isn't just about tasting notes or film critiques. We'll explore how the themes of "The Angel's Share" resonate with the craft of whiskey-making and how each sip of Mortlach 20 brings us closer to understanding the heart and soul of Scottish storytelling.
So, whether you're here for the whiskey, the film, or just to spend some time with fellow enthusiasts, you're in the right place. Let's raise a glass to the art of filmmaking and the craft of whiskey distilling.
