Episode 317: May 22, 2011

This is a big weekend on Islay, and not only because it’s the first weekend of the Islay Festival of Malt & Music. Bruichladdich is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its 2001 revival this weekend, and we’ll look back at the last 10 years with managing director Mark Reynier and the Bard of Bruichladdich, singer-songwriter Robin Laing. Midleton Distillery cooper Ger Buckley tells us about the centuries-old art of making barrels by hand, and shows us in the debut of WhiskyCast HD, a new series of video podcasts. We’ll also hear from the Spirit Journal’s F. Paul Pacult and Euan Shand of Duncan Taylor.
