Climate Change's Impact ON Scotch Whisky

Much has been written, and done, about the impact of Scotch
Whisky production on climate change over the last decade. Much
less has been written about the potential impacts of climate
change to Scotch Whisky makers, from distillery water sources
drying up in periods of drought to reduced crop yields for barley
farmers. As world leaders are gathered in Glasgow for the UN's
COP26 climate change summit, a new study by University College
London researchers looks at those potential impacts. We'll talk
with Carole Martin, one of the lead researchers, and Daniel
Sherry of Glengoyne and Ian Macleod Distillers, which funded the
study. In the news, there's finally an end in sight for the
European Union's retaliatory import tariffs on American whiskies
following this weekend's G-20 Summit in Rome. Diageo is breaking
ground on its first malt whisky distillery in China, and Scotch
Whisky industry leaders are looking warily at the UK Government's
new plans for taxing whisky and other spirits starting in 2023.
We'll have those stories, and in this week's Behind the Label
segment, a look at how one American distillery makes the most of
every drop of water it uses.
