From more than 25 years at The Glenmorangie Company, Dr Bill Lumsden is no stranger to genuine innovation.

Dr Lumsden, head of distilling & whisky creation at the Scottish business, has helped push the boundaries with a variety of expressions that showcase ingredients from roasted chocolate malt to wild yeast.

In this episode, the inaugural Distillers Journal Podcast, we speak to Dr Lumsden on how he and his team at The Glenmorangie Company navigated a potentially challenging last 12 months.

We discuss the dangers of innovation for innovation’s sake, Glenmorangie’s commitment to quality, and also Dr Lumsden’s plans for the company’s brand new experimental distillery.
