6 Scotch Whisky Stories You Won’t Believe Are True
A blind distillery founder, a Luftwaffe bomb, whisky sent into space, a cat with nearly 29,000 kills and a devil hiding in a cask. Scotch whisky history is full of strange stories, and most of them are true. In this video, Mark Littler explores six of the strangest stories from the history of Scotch whisky, including Captain Hugh Munro and Teaninich Distillery, the unlucky history of Banff Distillery, Ardbeg’s space whisky experiment, Laphroaig’s role during American Prohibition, Towser the legendary GlenTurret distillery cat, and the Bowmore folklore behind the Devil’s Casks series. Get in the comments and let me know which whisky story surprised you most, and whether there are any strange Scotch whisky stories I should cover in a follow-up video.
