167: Dränkt i Port of Leith

En trea whisky

FÖRSTA SVENNEBANANEN I TRAINSPOTTING. Premiär när David, som förste svensk, besöker Port of Leith distillery och får en pratstund med en av grundarna, Paddy Fletcher. Och Mackmyra blir snuvade på några meters höjd. Choose a life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Änd vi spik änglish.

A really deep dive into the Port of Leith distillery!

But first: no, David. His name is not Andrew Motley, it’s Arthur. Shame! Shame! Shame!
