On this very special bonus episode of Scran produced in partnership with Diageo we are heading north as Cardhu distillery celebrates 200 years of producing whisky.
Licensed in 1824, it was the first distillery to be officially pioneered by a woman. And what better way to mark this special occasion than by celebrating all women pioneers, and three in particular?
This episode was recorded at Cardhu Distillery in Speyside and features snippets from a celebratory event where the team welcomed-in the local community to hear from these modern trailblazers.
They are; fashion designer Siobhan McKenzie, Owner of Ujamaa Spice, Jawahir Al-Mauly and founder of Dear Green Coffee, Lisa Lawson.
I chat to each of them about the challenges they've faced and the successes they've achieved in their inspiring businesses.
To hear more about the history of Cardhu and the celebrations to mark 200 years of licensed whisky production (including a new bottling) I also chat to Assistant Experience & Events Manager for Cardhu, Jo Henderson.
You'll find out more about 200 years of Cardhu and the anniversary celebrations here.
We’d love to hear from you for the next season’s episodes.
