Please join me for some entertaining fly-on-the-wall style chat with characters talking about food and drink in Scotland and beyond. Every month you’ll have the opportunity to listen to recordings with authors, chefs and producers; whisky and gin distillers; and with people in communities with a story to tell. The aim of the podcast is to bring you voices from far and wide to give you an insight into what is going on, what is being produced, how people think and, possibly, how they survive – basically any tenuous link to food and drink! Please tune in or download and share.

Ep10-Carry On Dramming with Bruichladdich Highballs, Cartwheels on Jura, spirit-filled Wellington Boots and the Botanist Gin

On a trip to the beautiful island of Islay for the first Taste Islay Jura festival to celebrate the local food and drink, Ghillie meets some of the whisky characters and heavyweights – Billy Stitchell, former Master Distiller of Caol Ila; Jim McEwan, former Master Distiller of Bruichladdich; Simon Coughlin (former owner of Bruichladdich and now Chief Executive Officer for Remy Cointreau) and James Donaldson (forager for The Botanist Gin) – and gets an insight into how important whisky is for the island as the distilleries and village communities are intertwined.
