Experiments in Whisky (Episode 1001: April 23, 2023)

/

Dr. Bill Lumsden has been experimenting at both Ardbeg and Glenmorangie distilleries. His latest Ardbeg release, Heavy Vapours, involved taking part of the distilling system out of the picture just because he wanted to see what would happen if he did. At Glenmorangie, he has a whole year’s worth of projects for his experimental Lighthouse distillery. We’ll catch up with whisky’s mad scientist on this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Scotland’s controversial alcohol marketing restrictions have been sent back to the drawing board, while the equally controversial deposit return scheme for bottles has been pushed back to next March.

March 26, 2023 – Glen Grant has introduced the oldest permanent addition to its range with a new 21-year-old single malt.

The 62-year veteran of the Scotch Whisky industry was on hand this week at an event in New York City to introduce the new whisky. Read More »
