Waterford’s Reynier Mounting a Comeback Effort

Waterford Distillery founder Mark Reynier isn’t giving up on his dream, even though the distillery went into receivership last week. As he tells us on this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth, he’s putting together an investor group to bid on Waterford’s assets when they go up for auction in January. We’ll talk with Reynier about Waterford’s failure and where things went wrong on this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Brown-Forman is taking pre-emptive steps to guard against the impact of potential trade tariffs, while Chivas Brothers has filed for planning permission to build a distillery on Islay. We’ll also have details on the latest holiday whisky releases and much more.
