“Ice is for cocktails!” exclaims Scottish crime writer and whisky lover Val McDermid.
So how does she take a dram? And what does she take?
And if she loves whisky so much, why did Val create a leading character who enjoys gin when she personally hates it?
Join John Beattie as he and Val discuss “morning whiskies”, imposter syndrome and Scotland’s national bard, Robert Burns.
And if you’re new to Scotland’s national drink and want to know where to start, Val has a recommendation.
Slàinte!
