Listen now | On today’s special episode, I’m joined by the educator, author, researcher, and whisky historian, Dr. Kieran German. Dr. German isn’t just a whisky historian, though, he specializes in the Jacobite movement in Scotland and Britain; but as you’ll soon hear, his passion lies in exploring the history of Scotland through whisky.In the show we talk about the earliest stills, how Scotland got its start making whisky, and also why Scotland is the perfect place for distilling whisky. Other topics include a look at what unique qualities each region in Scotland bring to the whiskies that come from each, talk about the illicit stills that once were found hidden inside the homes and farms of Scots across the country, we get Dr. German’s whisky recommendations, and much more.Find Dr. German on Twitter at: @WhiskyHistory.
