1.25 "The Indiana Jones of Spirits" - Rebecca Jago talks about curating and creating the worlds most remarkable spirits.
In this episode you'll learn how the rarest, most expensive spirits in the world are discovered by one small family company dedicated to honouring and evolving the vision of two legendary founders.
Will and Foxy talk to Rebecca Jago, MD of The Last Drop Distillers, "Curators of the most remarkable spirits in the world". Rebecca reveals how the company was founded by her father Tom and his friend James after they had retired from a lifetime of building global brands for other companies such as Diageo, Moet Hennessey and Pernod Ricard. What started out as an adventure for two old men has become an exceptional company which fills a niche that nobody else had identified.
For our Desert Island Drink we speak to Marty Duffy, from Glencairn Crystal, makers of the most famous whisk(e)y glass in the world, a familiar sight to anyone who has ever conducted serious tastings for spirits or stood around a trade show, hoping for a free sample from a Whiskey stand. Marty makes us laugh out loud with his selection and if you have never seen the drink he mentions, click here.
Plus we talk our upcoming trip to Leuven, dolphins and make plans to taste some remarkable spirits. Email us at bizbevpod@gmail.com for more details.
