MIKE NICOLSON: FORMER MASTER DISTILLER
Tuesday, 7 – 8 pm 05/24/2011
An Evening with Mike Nicolson, Former Master Distiller at Diageo:
The passion for Malt Whisky has been more engrained in Mike rather than acquired. As a third generation distiller, the Grandson of the last Manager of the now long silent Port Charlotte Distillery and, whose other, paternal Grandfather can be seen in a sepia photograph from the early 1900’s, hanging in Caol Ila, it has been his preoccupation and his life. Mike’s Father, a Scotch Grain Whisky Distiller, meant that the ambience of distilling was never far away, even as a child. (see here for extended biography)
