Finding a Home in the World of Whisky

Dhavall Gandhi could have been a highly sought after mergers and
acquisitions expert, but he set that potentially lucrative career
aside to pursue his passion for making whisky. After a stint at
The Macallan, he's now in charge of production and blending at
The Lakes Distillery in northwestern England. The distillery
celebrated its fifth anniversary this month, and both of Gandhi's
two new "Whiskymaker's Reserve" single malts released this autumn
are nearly sold out. We'll find out how his career path took him
from India to the United States, Scotland, and England on
WhiskyCast In-Depth - and have tasting notes for one of his new
whiskies. In the news, U.S. distillers are breathing easier after
Congress and the Trump Administration approved a one-year
extension of a federal excise tax break that has kept many
small-scale distillers in business, while industry leaders are
gearing up to fight a potential expansion of U.S. tariffs on
imported whiskies. We'll also have some of your holiday whisky
wishes, too!
