This is one of the biggest weeks for whisky lovers in the United
States, with three major whisky festivals in three different cities
over a 10-day period. Whisky Magazine's Whisky Live New York started
off the fun this past Wednesday night, and I'll have the details in
this episode, including interviews with experts from Bowmore, Black
Bottle, Four Roses, and Old Pulteney. In the news, Scotch whisky
exports set a new record, William Grant & Sons plans for a new malt
distillery, and Ulf Buxrud has the best spirits book of the year for
2006.
