How do you take your whisky?
Neat? Splash of water? Block of ice? Or even a mixer?
However you take it, join John Beattie, former Scotland rugby international and semi-retired BBC radio and TV news presenter, as he celebrates the heritage and flavour of Scotland's national drink and the world's favourite spirit.
Whether you call it whisky, whiskey, uisge beatha, aqua vitae, or the water of life... there's a story behind every dram; a craftsman behind every drop; an aroma with every nose; and a flavour in every sip.
This is the spirit of Scotland: distilled in a place; shared around the world.
What makes it so special? Why is it so loved? And who are the people that make it, and the aficionados who drink it?
Join John every Thursday as he explores the alchemy that takes place from cask to glass.
Slàinte!

Unfortunately, John's had a seasonal bug. Nothing serious. But it's taken it's toll on his voice.
We're very sorry we're unable to bring you this week's episode.
John's on the mend, and he hopes to be back next week.
Thanks for listening to Cask to Glass.
Apologies once again.
Catch you next time.
Slàinte!
