Label 5. It's a name that most Scots don't know anything about but if you come from Livingston, you'll have seen the massive Distillery there. It's kind of a big deal and is a real success story, for Scotch Whisky Exports. Their blended Whisky is already a 'Top Ten', Scotch Whisky, Global best seller. Incredible but true. Grain Scotch Whisky is ALREADY a thing and anyone who likes Bell's, Johnnie Walker or Famous Grouse is already having this, as a large part of a bottle of Blended Scotch Whisky. There also already are a few Grain-only Scotch Whisky Brands but it's never been that fashionable. However, as it's quicker (and cheaper) to make, and as demand for Scotch Whisky is SOARING, expect to see more, like this. #ScotchWhiskyTruths

Redefining Canadian Whisky And Mash Bills vs Grain Bills Nick Taylor is no stranger to blending - he hit 40 Scottish distilleries in 30 days pretending to be a whisky writer (and no, I asked, he wasn't caught!), and has since visited Ireland, Japan, and most of the distilleries in Kentucky, not to mention Canada. Bottom line, he knows that you don't have to distill to create something exceptional.  In creating Found North with his partners, Nick is taking on a monumental task - redefining Canadian whisky for an American market conditioned to see Canadian as lesser, inferior, or just plain bad. The big brands don't do themselves any favors, but then again they don't have much incentive (we get into that), so it's up to the small guys like Found North to crack that nut.  In a fascinating exploration of the art and science of whisky blending, Nick reveals how synesthesia and musical influences spark creativity in crafting harmonious blends, from classical to funky things even I had never heard of before. We delve into techniques for balancing flavors and how strategic buying and aging of whisky components allow Found North to create and fill a new niche. Throughout the episode, personal anecdotes and insights from Nick offer an engaging and enlightening look at the passion and expertise that drive Found North's unique journey in the whiskey world.

Whisky: More Than Just a Drink, It's a Story This video perfectly symbolizes what whisky is all about—storytelling, connection, and heritage. My time at Ian Macleod Distillers is something I still talk about, even though I’ve moved forward in the industry. Their core principles and strong sense of family are values that should be the bedrock of any whisky company. It’s exciting to see my all-time favorite expression, the Glengoyne Teapot Dram, being released again, marking its 10th batch. Whisky is not just a product; it’s about bringing people together, sparking conversations, and linking the past with the present. This video embodies what whisky is and should always be—a bridge between generations and experiences. #Whisky #Storytelling #Glengoyne #TeapotDram #IanMacleod Glengoyne
