Hi, I'm Kim Choong and you're listening to Thirstmag: Over A Drink podcast. In this episode, I talked to George Schulze, the Asia brand ambassador for Whyte & McKay about their latest single malt Scotch whisky, Tamnavulin.
Tamnavulin used to produce whisky for blending since it was founded in 1966. It retired its stills in 1995 and rested for over 20 years before reopening again in 2007 under a new ownership. It is now operated in its original site in Speyside with a lean team of twelve, including two female Head Distiller and Distillery Manager.
We will be talking about what led George from being an actor into the whisky industry, his favourite whisky pairings and cocktails, how not to be told the right way to drink whisky, and a few tips for new drinkers.

Malaysia prides itself for the variety of food offerings by the nation’s many races sharing the love for each other’s kitchen menus. It is almost an open secret that Malaysia has better street food than Singapore. But do we actually serve better food when restaurants in Singapore are winning awards and Malaysia’s aren’t?
I talked to Leisa Tyler who sat on the 50 Best Restaurants board for 10 years about the relationship between chefs and farmers; and Wong Yin-How, sommelier and restaurateur about the importance of a beverage program in restaurants.
