WhiskyCast Episodes
WhiskyCast is where it all begins. Now in our 21st year, each weekly podcast brings you the latest in whisky news, along with the latest events, tasting notes, comments from other listeners, and the weekly “In-Depth” segment features interviews with the people who help make whisky the “water of life”.
Remembering Jim Cryle
This week, we’ll mark the passing of longtime Glenlivet master distiller Jim Cryle, who ran the Speyside distillery from 1991 until his retirement in 2006. We’ll listen to an interview with Jim recorded shortly after his retirement, in which he talks about his history in the business, what makes a good single malt whisky, and his choice for that “last dram.” In the news, more Scottish distilleries are pausing production because of lower demand, while U.S. whiskey production has hit its lowest level since 2018.
