The City View: More Spring Statement analysis, and The Macallan's Master Whisky Maker distills her craft

Today Andy Silvester chats to Economics and Markets reporter Jack Barnett -- they look back on yesterday's Spring Statement; go through dire IFS figures; and discuss lack of growth in the UK economy. Andy also takes us through the business news: P&O are in even more hot water; and the CEO of convenience store operator McColl's has stepped down. Following this, and on a brighter note, Andy chats to Kirsteen Campbell, The Macallan distillery's Master Whisky maker. They discuss what it takes to be a Master Whisky Maker; how whisky quality is meticulously maintained; The Macallan's 81-year-old whisky, The Reach; and Kirsteen gives her whisky of choice for the summer weather.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
