Amazon: Now Delivering Whisky Videos (Episode 755: February 17, 2019)

Amazon delivers almost everything...even whisky in some places.
Now, Amazon Prime Video is delivering content for whisky lovers.
We'll talk with the Three Drinkers: Aidy Smith, Helena Nicklin,
and Colin Hampden-White, about their new series that's almost
like whisky's "Top Gear." If you're more into serious
conversation, Fred Minnick's interview series "Bourbon Up" has
also made its debut on Amazon Prime. We caught up with Fred at
Louisville's Silver Dollar whiskey bar, and this episode was
recorded on location at the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience on
"Whiskey Row" downtown. In the news, we now have concrete
proof that the American whiskey industry is being affected by the
trade war, while Scotch Whisky exports reached a new record in
2018. Distell's two-year renovation and upgrade project at
Tobermory Distillery is almost complete, while Diageo is moving
forward with plans for a new Johnnie Walker Experience visitors
center in Edinburgh. We'll also look at the origins of whisky
tourism on Behind the Label, and it goes back much farther than
you might think!
