GlenAllachie is one of our favourites for its complex adventurous drams and it's on our doorstep. One of their big personalities is European renowned Juliettte Buchan, French from birth, Scottish from heart. She has been European Sales Manager for 5 years, before becoming Brand Home Manager over a year ago.

In this episode, we chat with Juliette and her husband Callum about another one of their loves; Against The Grain, a beer and whisky emporium in Elgin.

We are introduced to hauf an' hauf with a GlenAllachie 9 Fino sherry cask, Benriach Smoky 12 and GlenAllachie 15. We had no agenda, just hit Record and let the conversation and pairings flow.

In this first half, we also cover independent bottlers and maturation. Rather than cutting it short, you will need to wait for a couple of weeks for Part Two.
