Episode 64: October 30, 2006

Jim Cryle “retired” this year as Master Distiller at The Glenlivet, but somehow he seems just as busy as ever after 40 years of making Scotch. My conversation with Jim includes everything from his early days in distilling to what it’s like to walk into a warehouse first thing in the morning, as well as his choice for that final dram. In the news, Bruichladdich’s bottling Port Charlotte PC5, the Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre gets a new name, and new whiskies are on tap — so to speak — for WhiskyFest in New York next week.
