The Masters...and The Protege

Dr. Bill Lumsden is best known as the head of whisky creation for
The Glenmorangie Company, but he’s also the master blender for
Beyonce’s Sir Davis American whiskey. Much of the day to day work
of blending Sir Davis falls to master blender Cameron George, who
took on the role when Sir Davis was launched last year. We’ll
talk with both of them on this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth, and
we’ll also be joined by Ireland’s first female master blender,
Helen Mulholland of Sazerac’s Hawk’s Rock Distillery. She’s just
released the first whiskey from Hawk’s Rock, the Garavogue
20-year-old Irish single malt. In the news, investors ran away
from Brown-Forman shares this week following a disappointing
earnings report, and two fledgling Kentucky distilleries are
facing lawsuits and liens over construction bills.
