Discover the World Behind Great Whisky

Long-form cinematic conversations exploring the whiskies, distilleries and ideas shaping the world of whisky.

For nearly two decades, SingleMalt TV has documented the people, craft and innovation behind some of the world’s most respected whisky producers.

Through The Whisky Dialogues, we go beyond tasting notes to explore the passion, philosophy and thinking that shape every bottle.

Great whisky is about far more than what's in the glass.

Great whisky is about far more than what’s in the glass. Every distillery is built on a vision. Every whisky reflects a philosophy. Behind every bottle are the people, decisions and moments that shape its character. SingleMalt TV was created to explore that world.

Through The Whisky Dialogues and our growing collection of original productions, we go beyond tasting notes and marketing to uncover the ideas, craftsmanship and personalities behind today’s most respected distilleries. Our conversations are thoughtful, independent and cinematic, giving whisky enthusiasts a deeper understanding of the people and stories that shape every dram. For nearly two decades, our goal has remained unchanged: to document today’s whisky world with authenticity, curiosity and respect—creating a lasting record for enthusiasts today and for future generations.

What the Whisky Community Is Saying

Thank you so much for letting us hear such true and refreshing words. We miss Mark and Waterford! Do you know if he managed to get his stock from Waterford?

Episode: Mark Reynier Remastered Series

Amigo Rob, great videos about whisky. Thanks so much for your time, patience and all the information. The only downside is that I can’t watch all the full-length videos—only shorter ones like this and the Lochlea episode with Alex. Anyway, thank you so much. You rock! Un abrazo.

Episode: Douglas Laing – Bottler to Distiller

Brilliant interview. I love the taste of Nc’Nean, and I love what it stands for. I’ve had the chance to meet Annabel a couple of times, and she and her entire team are incredibly passionate—it’s almost infectious! Thank you for this. How can I watch the full version?

Helping Great Whisky Find New Audiences

Every distillery has moments that deserve to be shared—whether it’s a new release, a distillery anniversary, a seasonal campaign or entering a new market. SMTV’s Brand Discovery Campaigns combine cinematic storytelling with longform conversations to create engaging content that introduces your whisky to an audience actively interested in discovering exceptional spirits.

Campaigns can be developed around:

Christmas & Holiday Gift Giving
Thanksgiving
Father's Day
New Product Releases
Limited Editions
Distillery Anniversaries
Market Launches
Festivals & Special Events

Every campaign is professionally produced and supported by a comprehensive package of marketing assets for use across your own website, social media and digital marketing channels. Unlike traditional advertising, these campaigns are designed to educate, engage and build lasting interest in your brand through authentic storytelling.

Independent Conversations. Authentic Stories.

At the heart of SingleMalt TV is our commitment to independent editorial storytelling.

Through The Whisky Dialogues, we invite founders, distillers, blenders and industry innovators to share the stories behind their whiskies—the ideas, challenges, philosophies and craftsmanship that define their work. Our conversations are never scripted, never product reviews and never designed as traditional advertising. They are thoughtful, long-form discussions that give viewers a genuine understanding of the people and decisions behind every bottle. Editorial conversations are selected because we believe they will inform, educate and inspire our audience. That editorial independence is fundamental to the trust SingleMalt TV has built with viewers since 2005.

Professional Assets. Lasting Value.

Every Brand Discovery Campaign can be accompanied by SMTV’s Master Asset Package, providing your team with professionally produced broadcast-quality assets for ongoing marketing, publicity and digital distribution. Rather than creating content for a single campaign, the Master Asset Package gives you a comprehensive library of professionally produced material that can be repurposed across your own marketing channels long after the original production.

The package can include:

Full broadcast-quality master programme
Individual camera ISO recordings
Individual audio recordings
Professionally colour graded master
Broadcast-quality audio mix
Social media clips
Podcast audio version
High-resolution production stills
DaVinci Resolve project files (where applicable
XML project files (where applicable

Whether you’re supporting a new release, building your digital library or creating
content for future campaigns, the Master Asset Package extends the value of
every production well beyond its original release.

The Story Behind SingleMalt TV

SingleMalt TV began in 2005 with an idea that had very little to do with whisky.

At the time, I was working as a cinematographer in Hollywood, where I had become one of the early advocates for High Definition production. While many still questioned whether HD would replace film, I was travelling throughout the United States teaching cinematographers and lighting professionals how to use the new technology through workshops for Sony and other manufacturers.

I was convinced that HD would eventually transform not only television and filmmaking, but also the internet. Long before online video was considered a serious medium, I wanted to explore what high-quality, long-form storytelling could look like on the web.

The question then became… what should I film?

Whisky fascinated me because it wasn’t really about whisky. It was about remarkable people, family businesses, tradition, innovation and places with extraordinary stories to tell.

I also knew that if SingleMalt TV was going to earn the respect of the whisky industry, I needed someone whose knowledge and reputation were beyond question. So I sent an email to whisky writer and historian Charlie MacLean.

To my surprise, Charlie replied almost immediately.

That single email became the beginning of a collaboration that took us across Scotland—and later to Spain and Kentucky—filming many of the people and distilleries shaping the modern whisky world. Over the years our professional relationship became a genuine friendship. Our families came to know one another, I often stayed at Charlie’s home in Hillend, just outside Edinburgh, and many of our best conversations happened long after the cameras had stopped rolling.

Today, SingleMalt TV still reflects the same idea that inspired it twenty years ago: combining cinematic storytelling with genuine whisky expertise to tell authentic stories about the people shaping the world of whisky.

Whether filming for international broadcasters, major motion picture studios or SingleMalt TV, my philosophy has never changed:

Every story deserves to be told with authenticity, respect and craftsmanship.
