Radio 4 Wednesday 11:00 Moonshine
Susy Atkins and Dave Broom join forces to investigate the part played by moonshiners in the histories of Ireland and Scotland and in the development of the modern whisky industry.
While Susie goes in search of the poteen makers of Ireland who are still illegally distilling in hidden locations, Dave travels to Speyside in Scotland to find out how the excisemen of the 18th century effectively criminalised much of the Highland population.
