Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

THE INDIAN WHISKY MARKET EXPLAINED: IMFL, TARIFFS & 1.4 BILLION DRINKERS
Q: How do tariffs affect the Indian market in the near term?
Tariffs are coming down in a phased approach, which should gradually widen access and variety; end-consumer price benefits depend on local taxes and how much of the tariff relief is passed through by importers and brands.
THE INDIAN WHISKY MARKET EXPLAINED: IMFL, TARIFFS & 1.4 BILLION DRINKERS
Q: What is driving the growth of single malts in India?
Indians are increasingly educated about whisky, traveling globally, and seeking premium experiences; there is a growing middle class and a rising number of Indian-made single malts that prove locally produced products can compete with imported Scotch on quality and story.
THE FILMMAKERS OF THE WATER OF LIFE AND INDEPENDENT SPIRITS
Q: How did the independent spirits festival come about?
The idea for the festival emerged from discussions about the lack of an independent bottling festival in Scotland, leading to planning and execution due to strong community interest.
THE FILMMAKERS OF THE WATER OF LIFE AND INDEPENDENT SPIRITS
Q: How was the reception for The Water of Life?
The reaction was incredibly positive and exceeded their expectations despite the challenges posed by the pandemic.
THE FILMMAKERS OF THE WATER OF LIFE AND INDEPENDENT SPIRITS
Q: How did the concept for your docuseries on independent bottlers come about?
The idea stemmed from realizing there were aspects of the whisky industry, especially around bottlers, that weren't fully explored in their previous film, leading to a discussion about making a dedicated film.
