He explores how Rare Cask might sound through working with a Luthier in the South of Spain to create a guitar crafted from the same European Oak wood as The Macallan Casks are crafted from.&nbsp;</p><p>Together, we discover the core synergies of a great creation, and how interactions with a work of art in both realms of music and the craft of whisky making aren’t so distant from one another.</p><h2>MEET CHARLIE BURCHILL</h2><p>Charlie is a composer and multi-instrumentalist, occasionally swapping guitar for keyboards, saxophone and even violin. Now known as one of the most distinctive guitarists in the business, he has been involved in the creation of the amazing sound of Simple Minds for over 40 years.<br><br>
Charlie Burchill and Jim Kerr were childhood friends who performed together in early school bands, a short-lived punk outfit and then Simple Minds, which they formed in 1977. Their friendship is one relationship that has gone the distance, being as strong today as it was back then.</p>
