You're Saying It Wrong: Whisky Names Even Experts Get Wrong
Can you actually pronounce Bunnahabhain? What about Bruichladdich, Caol Ila, or Glen Garioch? If you've ever pointed at the bottle instead of saying the name out loud — this one's for you.

I brought in Roy from Aqvavitae, an actual Scotsman, to correct my Kiwi pronunciation of the 20 most mispronounced Scotch whisky names. We cover the famous ones you think you're saying right (spoiler: you're probably not), the Islay gauntlet that trips up even seasoned whisky drinkers, and some mainland mind-benders that look completely different to how they sound.

By the end of this video, you'll never have to point at the bottle again.
