Kilchoman Distillery marked its 20th anniversary in 2025, and founder Anthony Wills will be in the U.S. for a series of anniversary tastings this week. Before he left, he joined us for an in-depth interview covering everything from the distillery’s beginnings to the state of the whisky industry today. In the news, Scotch whisky industry leaders are still hoping for relief from U.S. trade tariffs, while an impending government shutdown threatens to derail whisky label approvals. We’ll have the details, along with word of a bunch of new whiskies released this week.
