Ewan Henderson

In this episode #34, we speak with Ewan Henderson , the man behind Hendo Talks, a drinks industry professional and Scottish food champion. He’s from Glasgow, Scotland and currently there in lockdown. He’s well-travelled in Europe and Asia, and is working his way across the USA to seek out the best dive bars and foodie experiences. Ewan made his name as the ‘Molecular Magician’ by pairing Scotch whisky with food at a molecular level. His end game is to provide pairing confidence and entertain audiences around the globe. He works in Scotch whisky and rum and don’t get him talking about the terroir of rum – he could go on for hours. He’s a keen hiker, desperate to be let loose once the Scottish highlands are opened again.
