Join us on this special instalment of "Not Another Whisky Podcast" as we pour ourselves a generous measure of insight and laughter with Gary Mills, the charismatic brand ambassador from Loch Lomond Whiskies. In this episode, we delve into the art, science, and pure joy of whisky-making from one of Scotland's most innovative distilleries.

From the innovative use of Coffey and straight neck pot stills that confound even the seasoned distillers to the traditional crafts kept alive by Loch Lomond’s skilled coopers, Gary takes us through the nuances that make each bottle from Loch Lomond a unique expression of its landscape and heritage. We explore the sporty spirit of the distillery and its connections to major sporting events and get a peek at what might be brewing in their creative labs.

Whether you're a connoisseur or just curious about what goes into making a bottle of this beloved spirit, this episode offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at both the tradition and the innovation driving Loch Lomond Whiskies. Plus, don't miss the hilarious round of closing questions where Gary reveals where you might snag a bottle or two of Loch Lomond for your collection.

Pour a glass and settle in for a chat that's as enriching as the whisky itself—no kidney-selling required!
