Making whisky with Greg Urquhart | Gleann Mor Spirits Spirits Manager talks indy bottling, managing casks and blending whisky

It all started with one photo and from there Greg Urquhart found himself managing an inventory of whisky casks. Gleann Mor Spirits are an independent bottler from Leith, Edinburgh who are responsible for brands and whisky ranges such as Whisky Row, Edinburgh Whisky and Rare Find. In this episode we chatted with the man responsible for managing the casks in the warehouse and creating the whisky that they produce. We hear all about the process Greg goes through when creating the flavour profiles for blending as well as sampling casks and assessing what happens to the liquid next. Angus also gave us a brief history lesson on the infamous Pattison Brothers who were responsible for the first 'whisky crash' in the 1890s. As always this was a very fun episode to record. Greg gave us a real insight into what he does in the wonderful world of whisky and his story of how he got into it. His What 3 Drams are a treat as well.
