In this special live episode of Not Another Whisky Podcast, we take you straight to the heart of Speyside—to the iconic Benromach Distillery. Mitch is joined by none other than Keith Cruickshank, Benromach's distillery manager and a man with over 20 years of experience at the helm of this beloved distillery.
