Martin Purvis is a trans-national treasure trove of information and analysis of the spirits industry. From Manchester to Edinburgh to Kentucky, via Africa, Martin has been building expertise in how commodities drive commerce. Casks have become his focus over the last few decades and he has worked with William Grant and Kelvin Cooperage, amongst others. Martin explains how cask availability, quality and regulations are changing rapidly, resulting in testing times for distillers.
