Episode 40: Drew McKenzie Smith, Lindores Abbey Distillery
from DistilleryTours · host Louise Sylvester
In this episode of the distillerytours.scot podcast we speak to Drew McKenzie Smith, Managing Director of Lindores Abbey Distillery.Drew talks about growing up on the farm at Lindores Abbey and how, after a stint working away in England, he and his wife Helen returned to create the distillery we know today. We learn that it was thanks to Michael Jackson's book, Scotland and its Whiskies that the family found out about the Abbey's historic links with whisky production. And how that history continues to play a part in the whisky produced by the distillery now. Drew also talks about how the Abbey's French-born monks have played a part in the casks used for the distillery's exciting new release - Thiron, which will be available to buy in the distillery's Visitor Centre, online and from selected UK Stockists from 12th September 2024.
