Description

Dan Szor swapped a career of finance and Wall Street to pursue a dream of owning his own whisky distillery in one of the most idyllic parts of England. The Cotswolds Distillery was one of the first English whisky producers on the scene and has been at the forefront of the category’s substantial growth. But what does it take to build a distillery from the ground up, and to grow it into into a global success story? Dan shares his experience in our latest podcast episode, which also touches on the recent GI development for English whisky, what it would mean for the category, and why Dan believes it won't have the detrimental impact on Scotch single malts that some claim.
