Opening the Distillery Doors Slowly

As governments start to relax lockdown restrictions in the fight
against the Covid-19 virus, some distilleries are slowly starting
to welcome the public back. While tours and tastings are still
widely banned, Ireland's Teeling Whiskey Company opened the doors
to its distillery shop and cafe this week, and we'll talk with
Stephen Teeling about the decision and what it means to be able
to get out of the house again. Meanwhile, at least four Kentucky
distilleries have also opened their gift shops along with others
in states with looser public health restrictions. However,
Scotland's Glenfarclas Distillery will keep its visitors center
in Speyside shuttered for the rest of 2020 to protect the health
of distillery workers after one of its bottling hall workers died
from the virus. We'll also have details on two whisky auctions to
support those affected by the virus, along with the week's
tasting notes and much more!
