Whisky Lessons from a Century Ago

A century ago, Masataka Taketsuru was using the lessons he
learned during his time in Scotland to build Japan's emerging
whisky industry armed with a notebook full of information. While
that notebook remains in Nikka Whisky's archives, it's now been
translated into English for the first time. Ruth Anne Herd and
Professor Alan Wolstenholme teamed up for the translation, and
there's a family connection behind the project. Wolstenholme's
grandfather was the manager at Hazelburn Distillery in
Campbeltown when Taketsuru was doing his "internship" there, and
that's one of the stories Alan Wolstenholme shares with us in
this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. We'll also have the week's
whisky news, including the winners of this year's Canadian Whisky
Awards, tasting notes, and much more!
