Dr. Bill Lumsden has been experimenting at both Ardbeg and Glenmorangie distilleries. His latest Ardbeg release, Heavy Vapours, involved taking part of the distilling system out of the picture just because he wanted to see what would happen if he did. At Glenmorangie, he has a whole yearโs worth of projects for his experimental Lighthouse distillery. Weโll catch up with whiskyโs mad scientist on this weekโs WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Scotlandโs controversial alcohol marketing restrictions have been sent back to the drawing board, while the equally controversial deposit return scheme for bottles has been pushed back to next March. Weโll also have details on a new distillery in Kentuckyโฆthat was quietly built six years ago.
