Neil Macleod Mathieson is the whisky maker for Torabhaig Distillery and Mossurn Distillers & Blenders. He has 40 years of experience in the spirits industry. Neil began his career by writing to Champagne houses, in a gentlemanly way, to become a blender. A couple of houses accepted him onto their estates and from there whisky was the next step. Blending and distilling of spirits has been Neil’s only job. On this episode, he breaks down the process of collecting barrels for blending Mossburn’s projects, along with the purpose of bringing together the elements of space, culture and tradition to create Torabhaig.
