Alwynne Gwilt couldn’t stand whisky…hated it, in fact. That is, until a former boss in London dragged the Canadian expat to a media tasting. It’s not quite the same transformation Peter Parker had following his encounter with a radioactive spider, but that evening turned Alwynne into “Miss Whisky”. Now, she’s on her own blogging, freelance writing, and leading whisky tastings…and joins us for this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Diageo plans to open Stitzel-Weller Distillery in Louisville to the public, but there are still no official plans to restart production…yet. Beam loses a preliminary battle in its legal fight over Irish whiskey supplies, Teeling Whiskey gets more distribution in Latin America, and The Glenrothes uncovers a single cask from 1969.
