Whisky Travel Pics

This is the Women's Washroom at Glenmorangie. Rated #1 overall for best facilities of the 22 distilleries we visited that year.

Another view...

To be clear; it was Mrs. BlueNote who was rating the women's washrooms. I rated the tasting rooms.

@BlueNote, she of the yellow jacket?

The tasting room at Glenfarclas. The panelling and fixtures were salvaged from one of the Canadian Pacific liners. I think it was the Empress of Australia.

Glenfarclas visitors centre.

@BlueNote loved that place. The people were amongst the nicest I met in the distilleries.

@MadSingleMalt The very same. She called me in when no one was in there. She said "This is the winner, get the camera."

Wow—Glenfarclas is totally pimped out.

Glenlivet was very nice too. Great place for lunch. Tasting room is very nice.

@MadSingleMalt the Glenfarclas tasting room was very cool. The founder loved ships so they did indeed use paneling from a ship.

@nooch Haven't ever made it to Glenlivet, but it certainly looks worth a visit.

These are not whisky related per se, but they are from our trip to Scotland in 2015. The classic Scottish thistle, Holy Island (Lindidfarne), and St Abbs fishing village.

Holy Island (Lindisfarne)

St Abbs fishing village

@Hewie Oh yeah. Lindisfarne is brilliant. You can only get there when the tide is low. There was a band called Lindisfarne back in the 70s that did some excellent folk rock.

@BlueNote That's right - you've got to time your trip with the tides. It's got a lot of history!

Love this thread

The grounds at Glen Grant are famous for a reason. The hobbit theme from Lord is the Rings was playing in my head throughout our stroll.

@Hewie, that Lindisfarne photo is utterly captivating.

@MadSingleMalt thanks. We spent the whole day there. They have some iconic sheds on the beach made from the hulls of upturned fishing boats. I found the ruins of the old priory quite moving - knowing some of the history of the Viking invasions. We watched seals swimming, and walked along the beach. It is an enchanting place and well worth the visit.

Jack Daniels grain mill.

Jack Daniels rick burner (to make charcoal).

Jack Daniels barrel house (One of many.)

Above the JD still and mash buildings. Boy did it smell good in there.

Jack on the rocks, the spring behind us is the source of water for the distillery.

@casualtorture Great stuff. On the rocks with Jack, perfect. I can practically smell that fragrant air.

The Whisky Castle in Tomintoul. Probably the biggest collection of IBs in the country.

More Whisky Castle. Everything on the counter is open for tasting.

The former owner of Whisky Castle. A lovely guy and a generous pourer.
