Zone 1 Radio - #LondonTastes with Allyson Munro

Whisky is one of the most aspirational drinks in the world and scotch single malt is the absolute pinnacle of this. Made from 3 simple ingredients, not much has changed in the production process over the years . At the Aberlour distillery in Speyside we get a get a guided tour from site manager Graham, brand ambassador Ian and a bit of classic Pathé newsreel.

The Aberlour distillery, in the Scottish highlands, was founded in 1879 by James Fleming. It's situated in the picturesque area of Speyside, where the Lour burn joins the River Spey. The single malt whisky is made from natural spring water from the surrounding hillside and matured in sherry casks to give them a rich, crisp and fruity flavour.

#InGoodTaste recently journeyed up to Speyside in the Scottish Highlands to visit the famous Aberlour distillery. Whilst we were there, Ian Logan took us into the hills and to the springs which provide the water for their award-winning single malts.

This week #InGoodTaste took a road trip to Gloucestershire to visit Todenham Manor Farm. Set in 650 acres of beautiful Cotwolds countryside, the farm rears rare-breed pigs and cattle which are butchered onsite. Their high quality meat has won a plethora of Great Taste Awards over the last few years and can be bought in meat boxes online or from local shops. We spoke to Irayne Paikin who bought the farm 8.5 years ago and learn about its surprising transformation.
