Ahead of the Scotland v Japan rugby match at Murrayfield, former Scotland Rugby Captain Greig Laidlaw and Master Distiller Billy Walker will be in conversation with Caroline Blair for an evening of rugby, whisky and stories and insights from careers at the top of their game.Rugby legend Greig Laidlaw won 76 caps for Scotland and captained his country a record 39 times.
After coaching in Japan, he's now back home helping to shape the next generation of Scottish rugby talent.
Master Distiller Billy Walker has spent more than 50 years in Scotch whisky, and most recently has been with the Speyside Distillery GlenAllachie since 2017, helping to make it one of the most acclaimed distilleries in Scotland.Presenter, journalist and Murrayfield announcer Caroline Blair will be in conversation with the pair as they swap tales from the pitch and the distillery: what it takes to lead, to master a craft and to stay at the top.
They'll follow it up with a Q&A, then the chance to meet both guests and take home a photo.The evening opens with a GlenAllachie 12 Year Old cocktail.
Then comes a guided tasting of two exceptional GlenAllachie drams, served with canapés.
