25 Years of Stories, Laughs, & Whisky

Bruichladdich Distillery on Scotland's Isle of Islay is marking 25 years since its resurrection in 2001 by a hardy band of whisky makers led by Mark Reynier, Jim McEwan, and Duncan McGillivray. Adam Hannett was a teenager on Islay watching the distillery come back to life, and joined the team as a warehouseman in 2004. Now, he's the master blender at Bruichladdich, and has created three new whiskies this year to mark the anniversary. We'll talk with Adam on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, trade talks between the U.S. and Canada are heating up ahead of this week's deadline for new U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports, and whiskies are a key stumbling block. We'll have the details, and on this week's Behind the Label, scientists have figured out why some whiskies smell like mangoes and others don't.
