Val McDermid
from Cask to Glass
“Ice is for cocktails!” exclaims Scottish crime writer and whisky lover Val McDermid. So how does she take a dram? And what does she take?

Join John Beattie as he and Val discuss “morning whiskies”, imposter syndrome and Scotland’s national bard, Robert Burns. And if you’re new to Scotland’s national drink and want to know where to start, Val has a recommendation.
