Description

Whisky. BBQ. Banter.

Three friends from three continents explore the smoky, spirited world of whisky and BBQ.

Join Athila Roos (Brazilian-British sommelier & fine whisky specialist), Paul Sugden (English pub landlord & brewer), and Shane McBagley (American BBQ pit-master & chef) as they taste rare drams, fire up the grill, and swap stories from both sides of the Atlantic.

From Islay’s rugged distilleries to the BBQ pits of Texas, no bottle is left unopened and no brisket left unturned. Expect expert insights, laugh-out-loud banter, friendly rivalries, and the occasional outrageous challenge — all served with a side of smoke.

Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur, a backyard griller, or just whisky-curious, Through the Smoke is your ticket to the ultimate food & drink adventure.

New episodes every two weeks on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.
