Scran season 9: The Morrison family's return to whisky-making with Aberargie

The latest episode of our podcast Scran is now live.

On today's episode I visited Aberargie Distillery in Perthshire. The launch of the new Aberargie Whisky next March will mark the return to production for the Morrison family, arguably one of Scotland's most famous whisky families. 

Whilst there, I was given a tour of the distillery by head of distilling, Graeme Mackeddie, who shared with me what sets the new whisky apart and his hopes for the future of the distillery.

I also met with Brian Morrison, owner and founder who told her about the previous generations of his family that worked in whisky and why after 25 years it's time for them to get back in the game.  

I also spoke to MD, Niel Hendriksz who shares the vision for the business and guides me through a tasting of what will become the new whisky come next March.
