Episode 375: June 24, 2012

Crown Royal master blender Andrew Mackay didn’t have to look far when it came time to create a successor to the original Crown Royal XR, which used whiskies from the old Waterloo Distillery in Ontario. He just had to look in the warehouses at his home base, the old Lasalle Distillery in Montreal. In the news, Edinburgh’s North British distillery is open again after receiving a clean bill of health from inspectors following the area’s Legionnaire’s disease outbreak. We’ll also update last year’s visit to Knockdhu Distillery, and Bonhams has pulled a controversial Ardbeg bottle from this week’s auction in New York City.
