There were just three whisky distillers in England when Daniel Szor opened the Cotswolds Distillery in 2014. Now, there are more than 70, and English Whisky has just been granted geographical indicator status by the UK government. Szor helped lead the push to get that status as chair of the English Whisky Guild for the past three years, and we'll discuss the controversy surrounding that approval with him on WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, federal investigators are now looking into the case of the hidden cameras in Kentucky, while a bottle of The Macallan 1926 sold for $2.8 million at auction this week.
