A Pair of Master Whisky Makers

Today marks International Women’s Day, and it’s just a happy coincidence that we have two women who make great whiskies on this week’s show. Dr. Emma Walker is the master blender for Johnnie Walker, while Angela D’Orazio is the Creative Director of Whiskymaking for Compass Box. Both have new whiskies out, and we’ll hear from both of them on this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Sazerac is looking at expanding in Kentucky with a distillery in default, and the Canadian boycott of American whiskies is a year old and having major impacts on whiskey makers in the U.S.
