What’s a Scotch distillery doing making gin? For that matter, what’s a Scotch distillery doing making an unbelievably peated single malt in packaging so dark you can barely read it? Douglas Taylor of Bruichladdich and The Botanist sits down with the band to discuss the iconoclastic whisky distillery, their philosophy behind pushing the envelope with locally sourced barley, how they wound up making a London Dry Gin, and how that story involves punching a hole in a building with a wrecking ball. Plus, it was Grand Army’s birthday! Damon recaps the party (many Hard Starts were involved) and talks about what it means to have lasted ten years in one of the hardest industries on Earth Follow Bruichladdich at @bruichladdich Follow the The Botanist at @thebotanistgin_us The Speakeasy is now on YouTube!
