A
year ago, the owner of Glasgow's Pot Still Bar, Ken Storrie, passed away. At

happy...and going back to the Pot Still once again now that former manager
Frank Murphy and his family have taken over one of Scotland's best whisky
bars. Frank explains the whole sordid story and shares his memories of Ken
and his hopes for the Pot Still in this week's episode.
