Blended Scotch makes up more than 85% of all Scotch sold in the world, but is often relegated to the bottom shelf.

In this episode, I'm in Leith, the old whisky-trading port of Edinburgh, talking to Peter Allison, co-founder of Woven Whisky — a blending house that doesn't own a single still, just a studio in an old biscuit factory and a very strong point of view.

We get into how blending actually works, why Pete sources whisky from South Africa to Taiwan, and why he thinks blending, not distilling, is the most creative job in the entire industry.
