This week's guests on Spirits of Whisk(e)y are Brittany Curran, Trevor Jones, and Greg Swartz—Executive Producer, Producer, and Director, respectively, of The Water of Life, a new film that looks at the craftsmen, chemists, and renegades who saved scotch whisky and started a creative revolution in Scotland. Listen and learn how these whiskey-passionate filmmakers set about developing, funding, and shooting a feature-length documentary about uisce beatha and its journey from a humble agricultural product native to the British Isles to the global cultural phenomenon it is today. Plus hear Chef Louise Leonard discuss pairing a Bee's Knees cocktail featuring The Botanist, a Scottish gin made by Islay's Bruichladdich Distillery, and seared scallops seasoned with yuzu kosho.

Season 2 started off with a bang! Our first stop was the Dingle Distillery in County Kerry, Ireland where we spent three days at a proper Irish Gathering. We explore the town, the people, the whiskey and learn a lot about real Irish Pubs and old Pagan traditions. Interviews include Dingle's Master Distiller, Graham Coull, his wife Fay, Steven O'Carroll and Hunter Leese from Hotaling & Co.
