Episode 463: January 25, 2014

Chivas Brothers Master Blender Colin Scott. Image courtesy Chivas Brothers.Colin Scott is celebrating two anniversaries — his 40th anniversary in the whisky business and 25th anniversary as the Master Blender for Chivas Regal and Royal Salute whiskies. His latest release is a tribute to Royal Salute’s ties to the world of professional polo, and Colin took his inspiration for the blend from working with his family’s polo ponies. He’ll discuss his blends and working with whiskies that were just being distilled when he started his career on this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Suntory denies reports that it’s bidding for Whyte & Mackay and the Kentucky Bourbon Trail sets a new visitor record. We’ll also have reaction to a moment in this week’s WhiskyCast HD interview that caught Richard Paterson off guard, along with tasting notes for the Dalmore expression he created with Chef Daniel Boulud.
