On this special partner episode of Scran Rosalind is joined by legendary Scottish actor James Cosmo. In recent years James has worked alongside Annandale Distillery to create a blended whisky. 'Storyman' is named in honour of James, and for his reputation as a great raconteur, which you'll become very aware of in this podcast!

Rosalind chats to James about his great passions; acting, whisky and food. He shares memories from his days working on the cinematic giant that was Braveheart, including a story about coincidence that is hard to believe. Rosalind hears more about the process for developing his blend working alongside the master blenders at Annandale. James gets very animated when asked about his passion for cooking - in fact, he might call it an obsession!

Tours of the distillery run every day of the week from 10am until 4pm. Each tour includes up to 5 drams including a taste of James' blend Storyman'.
