On the Road at the New Brunswick Spirits Festival

It’s time for our annual trip to the New Brunswick Spirits Festival in Fredericton, New Brunswick. This year, the legendary Scottish bard Robin Laing was on hand, and we’ll catch up with him on this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth. We’ll also talk with festival founder and chairman Frank Scott, longtime master distiller Alan Winchester, and have more highlights from the week in Fredericton. In the news, Suntory Global Spirits is moving its Irish Whiskey bottling operations out of Ireland, while Diageo has called time on a Crown Royal distillery project in Canada.
