Spirit slowly turning into Scotch whisky in a bonded warehouse at Glenmorangie Distillery near Tain in Easter Ross. Glenmorangie's stills are the tallest in Scotland at 8m high. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/tain/glenmorangie/index.html

The distillery at Lindores Abbey in Fife, the “Spiritual Home of Scotch Whisky”, where distilling was first recorded in Scotland in 1494. #Scotch #whisky More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/newburgh/lindoresabbeydistillery/index.html

Remarkable finish there by the Pacers! #nba
Now time to kick back and chill.

Inside the Speyside Cooperage near Craigellachie in Moray, in the heart of distillery country. The amazing skills on display have changed little since medieval times but remain vital today. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/craigellachie/speysidecooperage/index.html

Partly hidden by neighbouring buildings, the superb Oban Distillery stands right in the heart of the town of Oban in Argyll. It was founded on this site by a family of local merchants, the Stevensons, in 1794. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/oban/obandistillery/index.html

Sorry to see the Isle of Harris Distillery in difficulties. Is the whisky bubble about to burst? Too many distillers and bottlers? Challenging conditions internationally too.

#Introduction

Hi everyone. I just moved to this server from Astrodon because I feel it is a better fit for my diversity of interests. These include: amateur #Astronomy, #HamRadio, #Photography, #Cycling, #Hiking, #Nature, #Scotch, #RetroComputing, #RetroProgramming, playing electric #Guitar and following #F1.

I live in #Canada with my wife and dog, and we have three wonderful adult children (me and the wife that is, not me and the dog!).

The stills at the fascinating Tomatin Distillery, close to the A9, eighteen miles south of Inverness. This was once the largest distillery in Scotland and it remains an impressive place with some highly unusual features.

Into the daylight. After years in the cool quiet darkness of the bonded warehouse, a cask of what has become Scotch whisky heads off for bottling at Ardbeg Distillery on the Isle of Islay. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/islay/ardbegdistillery/index.html

Glenlivet Distillery in Moray, producers of "The Glenlivet" and offering everything you could want from a distillery visit, including an amazing location. #scotch #whisky More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/ballindalloch/glenlivet/index.html

Glen Garioch Distillery, which can be found in back streets on the northern edge of Oldmeldrum in Aberdeenshire, looks and feels (and smells) exactly as a distillery should. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/oldmeldrum/glengarioch/index.html

The most likely beneficiary of this will be exporters of #scotch whisky !

Nothing else makes sense, so here's a shot of #Balvanie 14.

Tonight's dram is this incredible Caol Ila, finished in a very active Sauternes cask. Sweet wet smoke, grilled scallops, uncooked pancetta. Really remarkable! This is the first bottle (of two) from our new bottle share group. #scotch #whisky

I spent the last few hours making a vegan squash curry from scratch and ZOMG it was so damn good and ZOMG I'm glad I wasn't watching any football. Hope those who cared about it enjoyed themselves, but sounds like it's been a wash. Time to wash up and kick back with a #scotch to congratulate myself on a job well done.

My reward for a long (but successful) day of gardening is a dram of #octomore 14.3 #scotch #whisky

Old Particular Scotch 43 years old. This did not suck #scotch #drinking #oldparticular #whiskey

My favorite part of the evening… I’ve cooked the dinner, I’ve drank the wine, and now it’s everyone’s time to clean up while I drink the scotch. #thanksgiving #scotch #whisky

I've been sneezing, so I am not going to the Thanksgiving dinner, as some elderly people whose health I do not wish to endanger will be present.

This absence is not an act of self-sacrifice. Look at my recent post about my dislike for the main dish of Thanksgiving and bear in mind that I did not grow up with this holiday, and you will understand why I am not that sorry to be missing the dinner this year.

Nevertheless, I will miss chatting with some people that I do not otherwise get to see that often.

For the next few hours, I will be alone except for the company of a certain White Horse...
