Touring Tormore Distillery with Polly Logan and Ollie Chilton
Joshua and Jess head up to the Speyside region of Scotland to visit a distillery few have had a chance to set foot in: Tormore. Much like the Wonka factory, few people have been seen entering and few people have been seen exiting. Well, now under the ownership of Elixir Distillers all that has changed a bit.
Listen in as the inimitable Polly Logan takes Joshua and Jess through the wondrous distillery that is Tormore. To get through the various parts of the distillery you go up and down stairs, through this room and that. It's a maze and it's amazing. Shortly there after Ollie takes over and the Gang of Four start tasting through the warehouse; delicious cask by delicious cask by delicious cask.
