At Whisky Live Glasgow Whisky Comedian Alan Anderson interviews Glasgow's Whisky Chief Mark Connelly.
Mark owns whiskywhiskywhisky.com a wonderful forum for malt heads. He has also opened up his own shop The Good Spirits Co, Bath St, Glasgow... and he help found Glasgow's Whisky festival.
Today we ask him about all of that and get him to drink some Talisker (Friends of the Classic Malts Bottling)
About Glasgow's Whisky Festival
The event aims to put Glasgow back on the whisky map with an emphasis on Glasgow’s closest distilleries and the independent bottlers that belong to this great city. But it’s not just about Glasgow, as we’ll be celebrating whisky from all of Scotland and the rest of the world.
The event is being co-organised by Mark Connelly, founder of WhiskyWhiskyWhisky and Bill Mackintosh, Chairman of Glasgow’s Whisky Club in conjunction with Glasgow’s Whisky Club. Both have become frustrated at what Scotland's largest city has to offer the whisky enthusiast and feel that our national drink deserves to be given a bigger stage.
Members of the club will be on hand on the day to answer questions and help out where possible. We will also have club member and YouTube star Ralfy at the festival to capture the atmosphere and record interviews in his unique style. Bunnets at the ready!
At last, a whisky festival by Glasgow for Glasgow!
