from WhiskyCast · host Mark Gillespie/CaskStrength Media
While politicians in Scotland debate a potential ban on the harvesting of peat, author Mike Billett writes of the undeniable ties between peat and whisky. In his new book "Peat and Whisky: The Unbreakable Bond," the peatland scientist explores Scotland's peat bogs, healthy and not so healthy, and how whisky companies are helping to restore damaged peatlands back to health. Mike Billett joins us on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, whisky industry leaders are worried about the results of Tuesday's U.S. election and the potential for new tariffs in a second Trump Administration.
