Show Notes

“If you can work in the stillhouse at Dalmore, you can work in any stillhouse in the world because it’s completely complicated” – doesn’t sound like the easiest of jobs, don’t you think? So let’s get to know the man who is responsible to make sure that every single drop of The Dalmore is, well, The Dalmore, despite the quite complicated process in the stillhouse.

Let’s meet Mark Lancaster and find out, why it is actually that intricate to produce The Dalmore's spirit.

Mark Lancaster is the distillery manager at The Dalmore and he took the time to meet us at the premises of the distillery to record this episode with him. Luckily, he also showed us around the place, which is currently still closed to the public, to experience how The Dalmore is made first hand. We had a wonderful afternoon and now we would like to share this experience with you.

Tune in to find out more about Mark, the Englishman in charge of one of Scotland’s most prestigious distilleries, some lovely anecdotes about Richard Paterson and, of course, all things Dalmore. This is an episode not to be missed.
