Episode 402: December 15, 2012

John McDougall’s years of experience as a distillery manager in all five of Scotland’s whisky regions have made him a sought-after consultant for new distilleries. His latest project is the Dingle Distillery in Ireland, which started producing its first spirit this month. We’ll catch up with John for the first time in a few years to learn more about Dingle, along with his line of single-cask bottlings and his upcoming US tour with the Wild Scotsman, Jeffrey Topping. In the news, the list of potential suitors for Beam gets even longer and more complicated, Springbank spins Glengyle off, and the final bottle of Glenfiddich’s 55-year-old Janet Sheed Roberts Reserve malt goes on the auction block.
