Episode 170: October 26, 2008
Balblair Distillery sits on the Dornoch Firth in Edderton, and it’s been getting a lot of attention these days. Distillery manager John MacDonald was instrumental in helping re-launch the Balblair range from age-dated expressions to vintages, and the Balblair 1989 was recently picked by Scotch lovers as the best whisky at the Whisky Fringe in Edinburgh. We’ll hear from John about what went into the redevelopment of Balblair. In the news, Laphroaig’s John Campbell tells us about plans to harmonize the distillery’s range worldwide, and we’ll get updates on this fall’s new Classic Malts releases, new malts from Glengoyne and Auchentoshan, and how you can help support prostate cancer research during “Movember.”
