About this episode

Alex Thomson shares his insights on Scottish history, whisky, and hospitality while discussing his new business focused on authentic experiences in Perthshire.

I love listening to Alex Thomson talking about history, whisky, and Scottish Hospitality. And there's plenty of that on this episode. Since the last time Alex was on the podcast he's since left his role at Glenturret and has set up his own business with a focus on delivering authentic Scottish experiences with a focus on the Perthshire area. Alex has plenty of amazing whisky stories and is also a member of the Athol Highlanders which is a private Scottish army. It was great catching up with him again.
