Episode 152: July 6, 2008

Last fall, I mentioned The Balvenie’s search for a brand ambassador to represent the single malt in the US. Now, the lucky person has been chosen, and you’ll meet the new “Balvenie Guy” in this week’s episode. Sam Simmons is the whisky lover behind the “Dr. Whisky” blog, and now, he’s bringing his considerable knowledge of whisky to The Balvenie. In the news, an update on Springbank’s now-temporary shutdown for six months, Glenmorangie puts its Glen Moray distillery on the block and announces plans to move its headquarters from Broxburn to Edinburgh, and Bruichladdich comes up with a simpler name for its peated malt…”Bruichladdich Peat.”
