Episode 246: April 4, 2010

It’s the start of the festival season in Scotland, which saw gains in tourism last year despite the global recession. Scottish Minister of Culture and External Affairs Fiona Hyslop joins me to discuss whisky’s impact on Scotland’s tourism and economy, and will help me announce a competition to win a trip for two to Glasgow for Whisky Week in September! In the news, the winners of the San Francisco World Spirits Competition have been announced, Maker’s Mark wins a battle in court over its dripping red wax trademark, and the results of the WhiskyCast March listener pledge drive!
