    Whisk your senses away to the story-rich glens of Scotland as we traverse the history and heart of whiskey production with Glenturret Distillery's very own, Alex Thomson. With a family legacy steeped in distilling that dates back to 1772, Alex regales us with tales from the past and his current role at the helm of visitor experience. His insights paint a vivid picture of the heritage that continues to shape the world of whiskey tourism, as well as the personal anecdotes that reveal the evolution of a family deeply rooted in the craft.

    Step into the world-renowned Glenturret, where tradition meets ambition in one of Scotland's smallest yet most revered distilleries. Discover the artistry behind their spirits, guided by the legendary whiskey maker Bob Dalgarno, and peek into the elegant realm of their Michelin-starred restaurant, where fine dining becomes an inclusive celebration of Scottish flavors. This episode not only raises a glass to the meticulous craft of whiskey making but also to the individuals whose passion and dedication ferment into every bottle.

    Our conversation takes unexpected turns, exploring the transitions we face in our career journeys and the personal growth that often blooms from such changes. From rugby fields to whiskey casks, Alex opens up about the courage and resilience needed to navigate life's career shifts, the familial bonds that shape our identities, and the quiet moments of relaxation that balance the intensity of a life devoted to one's passions. Join us for an episode that's as much an ode to the spirited culture of Scotland as it is a toast to the resilience and adaptability that mark the milestones of success.
