WHISKY lovers can tune into a new podcast from Ian Macleod Distillers to keep them ticking over during self-isolation.
Launching at 12pm today, Whisky Unscripted will be hosted by Global Brand Ambassador, Gordon Dundas, and Experiential Ambassador, Gordon Dallas, offering a fun and informative guide to the whisky industry.
The duo will be speaking to a variety of exciting and knowledgeable whisky-related guests, including writers, foodies and personalities from around the world. Whisky fans can also send in questions through the Glengoyne or Tamdhu’s Facebook, Twitter or Instagram pages.

Scotland is in lockdown. Shops are closing and newspaper sales are falling fast. It’s no exaggeration to say that the future of The National is at stake. Please consider supporting us through this with a digital subscription from just £2 for 2 months by following this link: http://www.thenational.scot/subscribe. Thanks – and stay safe.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
