I found this on Amazon streaming movies. I am one of those whisk(e)y lovers, I enjoy all types, including a good Scotch, even though Bourbons are my favorite. Some years back I had the pleasure of visiting Oban and the distillery there, it has a lasting impact on me.
A running time of 90 minutes at first seemed too long but it is so well organized, covering every aspect in turn, and the stories are so well told that when it was over I found myself wishing it had been a bit longer.
The film includes many in the industry of making and marketing Scotch whisky, but more focus is on Jim McEwan, a distiller and master blender, a 52-year industry veteran. He is a quite entertaining person, obviously quite skilled in the subject, and also seems like a very nice person. His is the fairy tale story, as a young boy walking past the Islay distillery he was often detained by looking through a window, as a willowy teen was given a summer job, and through hard work and dedication became one of the giants of the industry.
Good documentary.
