## Resource

When the Ballindalloch Estate has been in your family for more than 450 years, what's a few years to wait to bottle your own single malt Scotch whisky. The McPherson-Grant family waited nine years to bottle their first single malt after opening their distillery in 2014, and have now entered the U.S. market with the Ballindalloch Family Heritage Selection. We'll talk with Guy McPherson-Grant, the lord of Ballindalloch Castle, and the distillery's international sales director, Aidan Dunn, on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. We'll also have tasting notes for the Family Heritage Selection, along with the Ardbeg Dolce Feis Ile single malt. In the news, we have details on layoffs in the whisky industry in England and the U.S., along with the week's new releases and much more.
