Whisky Legends
Welcome to the whisky legends podcast, where I’ll be speaking to one legend in particular, my Grandad Tim Morrison, whose been working in whisky for over 60 years helping to develop the industry, following his Grandad in the early 1900s.
Throughout this series we hear about how things have evolved from someone with unique first-hand experience, from cleaning the Kiln and malting Barley in the 60s, buying Islay’s Bowmore distillery and pioneering the Single malt whisky category with his brother in the 70s, to building the Clydeside distillery in Glasgow with his son and my Uncle only a few years ago.
We’ll hear some incredible stories on how business has been done and how brands have grown, both at home and abroad over the last hundred years, so if you’re someone that enjoys hearing about the history, magic and lasting relationships behind the liquid you love, then this is the podcast for you.

Whisky Legends
The pioneers of single malt whisky in the 1960s and 1970s - Episode 5
In this episode we hear about the companies, people and brands that pioneered the single malt whisky category and the education needed amongst both consumers and those within the trade. We’ll also hear about how marketing and PR was done in the 70s and how my grandad put together the first Bowmore single malt label design, just a little different, and a lot less expensive than today’s methods!
