In The Week of Peat, Gemma explores what links a highland peat, The Balvenie’s Warehouse 41 and a Defender driving around the Cabrach.
Spending time with former Distillery Manager, Ian Millar, Gemma gets a sense of how
their own lives and stories are intertwined with whisky and distilling. The episode ends with a whisky tasting like no other, as Malt Master David Stewart and Warehouse Coordinator George Paterson sample a series of different casks to try and explain the effect that Peat can have on The Balvenie whisky.
