A Scottish Rye? Rye Not!

Rye hasn't been widely used by Scotch whisky distillers for
decades, but Inchdairnie Distillery is doing something different
for its first release: A Scottish single grain distilled from 53%
malted rye and 47% malted barley. The distillery contracted local
farmers to grow the rye grain, and released its first batch of
RyeLaw this week. Inchdairnie managing director Ian Palmer joins
us to explain the reasons for starting with a Scottish rye
whisky. In the news, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says no
to reconsidering a whisky tax hike set for August, while Diageo
is joining the growing list of whisky makers eliminating
cardboard gift boxes from its whiskies.
