On this episode of Scran we venture north to Craigellachie to preview the upcoming Spirit of Speyside festival and to set foot behind closed doors at the Craigellachie Distillery.
I met brand home ambassador, Mike McGinty who took me through the history of the distillery as well as what they have planned for the upcoming festival and of course, their festival bottling.
He also showed me around the wonderful historic distillery, which you'll hear peppered throughout our conversation.
I also had a sit down with Henry Angus, Chair of the Spirit of Speyside, who tells me all about his new role, what the festival has in store this year and how an event of this size comes together.
