Welcome to The Whisky Chasers -- oak, smoke and thunder!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
We’re creating a whisky-fuelled online TV Series, starting with a pilot filmed at Ad Gefrin, England’s northernmost whisky distillery which opened in 2023 and home to the first Northumbrian English Single Malt Whisky.
Your co‑presenters -- paratriker David Burdus (Dave) and Rev Dr Clive Jackson (Doc) of Doctor and the Medics are travelling across the UK and Ireland to explore the ever‑changing liquid landscape that is uisce beatha!
Along the way, we’re diving into:
• New‑age casks & experimental ageing
• Science meets spirit
• The rise of women in whisky
• Young distilleries with big personalities
• The new whisky demographic
• Tradition vs Disruption
• Oddities, outliers & beautiful weirdness
WHY?
Because whisky is no longer just heritage; it’s energy, innovation, personality, and people.
We love the travel, the stories, the discoveries, and the bants.
And we want to capture this moment in whisky’s evolution while it’s still crackling with possibility.
WHAT YOUR MONEY ACHIEVES
We’ve decided to go big or go home.
Your support funds go towards us being able to create top quality content to really bring our vision alive, including:
• 4K broadcast‑quality filming.
• A small professional crew (six people on proper day rates).
• An editing setup powerful enough to handle 4K footage.
• Travel to distilleries across the UK and Ireland.
