The Glen Grant process harnesses the knowledge and skills honed by Dennis Malcolm, Scotland’s longest serving master distiller and third generation Glen Grant maker, to create exceptional liquid.

Join Aidy, Helena and Colin from The Three Drinkers for their first ever podcast! Three friends, a microphone and a bottle (or two) of cracking wine.

It's a lighthearted look at what's new in booze, a chance to answer your questions, catch up on our private lives, play games like 'guess the grape by the noise I'm making' and generally be a bit silly, all with a glass in hand. First episode was recorded pre-lockdown. The rest, at a safe distance!
