00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: you own a barrel of whiskey.

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: Yep, we own a barrel of whiskey. We literally poured

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: our barrel. They wed a syndicate ten years ago. They

11
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 2: let Roy actually do the initial poor because they said

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: in ten years time he'll be dead or in adventure.

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: The odds he's a lot of as well, and they like,

14
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: you know, they put on a wonderful, wonderful party. So yes,

15
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: so we're looking forward to that tonight. And then yes,

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: we have to sit around the table. What's the syndicate?

17
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: I guess and pack a day to yet to bottle it.

18
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 2: You choose your label and oh yeah, exact it is exciting.

19
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: It doesn't really worry me. Look, I don't drink whiskey.

20
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: I was always in it for.

21
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: The fun and has it been fun.

22
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: It's been great fun. We've had lots of weekends up

23
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: there checking on our barrel, rubbing it, taking photos of it.

24
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 2: We're cask thirteen. Some of the wealthy members of the

25
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 2: group bought a limousine and have got a number plates

26
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: thirteen on it. Yep.

27
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: And oh my gosh, how many are in this syndicate.

28
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: There was ten men originally put up the first thousand dollars,

29
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: and because it was ten grand and back in the day,

30
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: to all the barrels, I think it's what I think

31
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 2: it's twenty or twenty five. In fact, I don't even

32
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: think they're pouring any more. Of the barrel rooms are

33
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: stacked to capacity. Well, definitely, it didn't seem like it

34
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: at the time.

35
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: No, I be well, funny enough, I can't believe it's

36
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: been a decade. I remember when all this was going on,

37
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: and I did have the invite from a couple of

38
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: my mates saying, hey, do you want to go and

39
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: invest in this cask of whiskey. I was just beginning

40
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: my DJ career back then, so I barely had to

41
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: bob to rub together. I said, no, I can't possibly

42
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: do that. It's one of my greatest life regrets.

43
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we've had so much fun, and like the

44
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: distillery they have talked about, they literally we rolled out

45
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: the barrel and had such a fun day and then

46
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 2: we've you know, there's a meat We try and meet

47
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: for dinner and things like that, and we try and

48
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 2: have a week end up there every year to just

49
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 2: see how things are going. And we looked like we

50
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: were having so much fun that another ten people came

51
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: in and they brought two smaller barrels, still in the

52
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: first hundred I think a few months later, So there

53
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: is it's a big barrel. I think it's I think

54
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 2: it's five hundred liters. So what's that fifty liter bottles?

55
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: They'll be Oh goodness, we'll put me down on your

56
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: Christmas list of this year. For sure. Have you been

57
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: so every year you've gone up there, have you sampled

58
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: how it's coming along as anything?

59
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: Definitely, yes, not our barrel, but they have got barrels

60
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 2: that they do take a little hawk out of an

61
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: you get a sample of that. And yes, so I

62
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: imagine that they are selling some of the whiskey that

63
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: was originally called ten years ago. Because we were December

64
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen and we were you know, as I said,

65
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 2: we were cast thirteen, so they were underway with that.

66
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you get to name your whiskey?

67
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 2: I can't answer that. Surely will we get to pick

68
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: our label?

69
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: So yes, I give you Whurley's whiskey. Hey there we

70
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: get a weak caricature of you on the front of it.

71
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds right. I'll put that through them tonight

72
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: and see what they say about them.

73
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: You've only got a tense vote, so maybe we need

74
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: to come out something more universal.

75
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: Have you?

76
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: Have you been part of any other fun syndicates over

77
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: the years. You do seem like someone who loves to

78
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: be part of a social occasion.

79
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,000
