For my 4th Whisky Zone Cut Point interview, I visited The Bowmore Hotel on the Scottish isle of Islay back in March of this year. While there, I sat down and chatted with Peter Alexander Maclellan, the owner and proprietor of Lucci’s Whisky Bar, a destination spot for Scotch whisky drinkers from around the world who appreciate Islay whiskies. It was a fascinating talk about how this one-of-a-kind bar came to be, where it’s going, and some insights from an Islay native about where the Islay whisky industry is headed, as well. I had a great time talking with Peter and, if you choose to give it a listen, I hope you have an equally good time enjoying his story. https://youtu.be/vuSFz6PkmXw https://whiskyzone.com
