Designing Distilleries for Scotch Whisky's Next Century

There's an old saying that "form follows function." It's the idea
that a building's design should fit its intended purpose, and
over the years, that's been the way whisky distilleries were
designed by architects like Charles Doig - who developed the
pagoda-like chimney vents that are a sure clue you're looking at
a distillery in the distance. There's a boom in distillery
construction around Scotland, and architects are taking cues from
the past while designing contemporary distilleries that could be
around for the next 100 years or longer. Gareth Roberts is one of
those architects, with credits that include Ardnamurchan,
Lindores Abbey, and Dartmoor distilleries. We'll talk with him on
WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, we'll have the details on this
year's International Wine and Spirit Competition-winning
whiskies, along with the rest of the week's whisky news. We'll
also share some of the things you're most thankful for during the
holidays and answer some of your whisky questions on Behind the
Label.
