Episode 70: The SPEY Special – A Journey Through the Youngest Closed Distillery

Achtung, eine Durchsage! Unser Podcast hat heute ein schottisches
Upgrade bekommen! Weil unser wunderbarer Gast kein Wort Deutsch
versteht (und unser Gälisch etwas eingerostet ist), schmeißen wir
unsere Prinzipien über Bord und senden diese Folge komplett auf
Englisch. Um Spey gebührend zu feiern, wechseln wir also einmalig
die Sprache. Kleiner Pro-Tipp: Wenn ihr beim schottischen Akzent
nur noch Bahnhof versteht – einfach nicken, lächeln und den
englischen Folgentext unten lesen. Viel Spaß! 


Welcome to a very special milestone here at Whis-Cast! In this
episode, we are stepping into uncharted territory: this is our
very first episode recorded entirely in English.


To celebrate this premiere, we are diving deep into the
fascinating world of SPEY—often referred to as the "youngest
closed distillery in the world."


Joining us for this insightful session are two true industry
legends:
