Painting the Spirit: On the Whisk(e)y Trail with Artist Ian Gray

Cask to Glass · May 21, 2026 · 28m

Founding US President George Washington once said alcohol was a business for "scoundrels." So how'd he end up owning the largest whiskey distillery in the United States?

Cue James Anderson, a Scottish farmer and 18th century expat.

Join Scottish artist Ian Gray as he takes the whisk(e)y trail from Mount Vernon to Louisville; Lynchburg to Islay; Speyside to Shimamoto.

Slàinte!
