This show explores whisky through an unexpected lens: life, culture, and conversation in China. Each episode uses whisky as a starting point, not just to talk about what’s in the glass, but about where it’s being enjoyed, who’s drinking it, and what that experience looks like in a Chinese context. The result is a relaxed, conversational podcast that blends personal stories with cultural observation.
Episodes often revolve around everyday moments — sharing a dram with friends, navigating local bars, discovering how whisky fits into social life, or noticing how tastes and traditions shift across cultures. Rather than focusing on formal tasting notes or expert analysis, the conversations are grounded in real experiences: what it feels like to drink whisky in China, how people respond to it, and how those moments spark wider discussions about travel, identity, and connection.
The show also touches on the contrasts and surprises that come with cultural crossover. Whisky, often associated with tradition and heritage elsewhere, takes on new meanings when placed in a different environment. Through casual discussion, the podcast explores how global drinks adapt locally, how habits change, and what those changes reveal about both whisky culture and life in China more broadly.
The tone is friendly and unhurried, allowing conversations to wander naturally. Some moments are reflective, others light-hearted, with room for humour, side stories, and honest reactions. There’s no pressure to educate or persuade — the focus is simply on talking things through and sharing what stands out.
At its core, the show is about conversation: whisky as a companion to storytelling, and China as a backdrop that shapes those stories in unexpected ways. Listeners are invited to settle in, listen along, and experience a thoughtful yet relaxed exploration of whisky, culture, and everyday life from a perspective that’s rarely heard but easy to connect with.
