Show Notes

James Saxon took on the role as chief whisky maker for Compass Box following founder John Glaser's sudden departure several weeks ago. It's a journey that started with a Compass Box tasting Saxon organized as a student at the University of St. Andrews a decade ago. He'll answer your questions about Compass Box in this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Port Ellen Distillery is alive and humming once again, while Rosebank plans to open its new visitors center in June. Woodford Reserve has created a $15,000 Bourbon to celebrate the 150th Kentucky Derby May 4, and we'll have details and tasting notes, too.
