The annual Islay Festival of Malt & Music gets underway this weekend, and they’ll be celebrating more than just whisky on Islay this week. Bruichladdich’s Jim McEwan, a native Ileach, is celebrating his 50th anniversary in the whisky business this week, and scotched the rumors that he might announce his retirement during the Feis in this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth interview. He’ll also share some of his memories, as well as a life lesson his own mentor taught him many years ago when he was an apprentice cooper at Bowmore. In the news, Buffalo Trace is warning of a Bourbon shortage, we’ll check on new whiskies from anCnoc, The Glenrothes, and a couple of Islay Festival bottlings, and honor another 50-year whisky veteran who’s retiring this week.
