The Talk4 Podcast Episode 12: Hosted by Louis Skupien
Featured today is Richard “The Nose” Paterson, who is a legendary Scotch Whisky Master Blender who has an amazing portfolio and worked with the likes of Whyte & Mackay.
Third generation in a family which has long been associated with the Scotch Whisky Industry. In 1933, his Grandfather established W R Paterson Ltd in Glasgow and specialised in Blending, Bottling and Broking. His bond, situated at Stockwell Place, was later taken over by Richard’s father in 1956. At the tender age of 8 years old, Richard’s and his twin brother were introduced to the art of “whisky nosing”.
Ten years later Richard joined A Gillies & Company, Whisky Blenders & Brokers, as a General Production Assistant. He remained there for four years, during which time he learned every aspect of the company from stock records to distillation, with special emphasis being placed on the “Art of Whisky Blending”.
During the next six years he increased his knowledge in wines and spirits through The Wine & Spirit Education Trust, specialising in Bordeaux, Champagne, California, Cognac and Rum.
In 1970 he joined Whyte & Mackay Distillers and within 5 years he became their Master Blender; aged 26, he was reputed at that time to be Scotland’s youngest Master Blender.
