The English Whisky Scene

England's modern whisky scene only goes back to 2006, when the
English Whisky Company started distilling at St. George's
Distillery in Norfolk. Since then, it's grown by leaps and
bounds, and the first-ever English Whisky Festival will take
place this coming weekend online featuring 13 different
distilleries. We'll look at not only the growth of England's
whisky scene, but how Covid-19 has affected whisky bars and
distillery tourism as Chris Ratcliff makes his debut on
WhiskyCast as a contributor. In the news, surges in Covid-19
cases are forcing a return to restrictions on pub life around
Europe, while bars in Texas can start reopening this week. Jack
Daniel's has named its new master distiller - one with a link to
the distillery's heritage. We'll also have a story about the
legendary Booker Noe on Behind the Label and much more!
