Meet Highland Park's New Master Whisky Maker

Marc Watson took over for the retiring Gordon Motion this month after six months of serving as his understudy.

India and the United Kingdom have signed a trade agreement that will reduce India's tariffs on Scotch Whisky imports over the next decade, and Pernod Ricard is selling off some brands as it narrows its focus.
