In episode 230 of The Drinking Hour podcast, David Kermode sits down with Joel Harrison, whisky writer and Club Oenologique’s contributing editor for spirits, to discuss his new book The World Whisky Tour.
Obtaining one of the highest honours in Scotch whisky, Keeper of the Quaich, Harrison knows a thing or two about what makes a great dram. His latest book takes readers on a tour of 52 of the best whisky distilleries to visit around the world, with notes on their history, the reasons to visit, as well as the bottlings you need to try.
Kermode and Harrison walk through the different chapters of the book, delving into the historical beginnings of the distillery tour and exploring the key locations around the world that are championing single malt. From Denmark to India, Australia to Taiwan, Harrison leaves no corner unturned, and continues to reveal the different ways that distillers today are putting their own stamp on whisky.
