https://youtu.be/djGCKfW25Zo We are all fine law-abiding citizens. Are we not? Of course we are. But let’s not kid ourselves - one of the attractions of the whisky business is that it has its roots in activities which once were just shy of the squeaky clean. Quite a bit shy to be honest. Robert Burns, who fantasised about the devil making off with the customs man, knew all about this, being employed as an exciseman himself. But whether it’s Appalachian moonshiners, or Highland caterans building a pinewood fire for their still, so much of the magic of this industry comes from the renegade stories about its past. Kirstin MacDonald, Brand Ambassador for Glenfarclas, one of the most iconic and romantic of the Speyside distilleries. She has a story that had been passed on to her about the origins of the process we all know and love. A story that is so good that it must be true.
