Description
Dr Bill Lumsden is the head of distilling, whisky creation and whisky stocks at Glenmorangie and Ardbeg distilleries.The always entertaining Bill joins us this episode as we delve into some of his recent innovations with distilling and maturation in a rapid fire chat recorded while he was in Sydney, late in 2022.You’ll hear about his experiments with a raft of different wood types; a whisky made from barley kilned with woodland botanicals, and how he was inspired by Belgian lambic brewers on a recent Ardbeg release.Also on the agenda is Glenmorangie’s recent packaging overhaul; the launch of Glenmorangie X – a whisky specifically made for mixing, or so I thought – and the controversial, record-breaking sale of a single cask of Ardbeg whisky for 16 million pounds.And finally, we get Bill’s thoughts on the emergence of whisky production in new frontiers, such as Australia.
