Whisky Travel Pics

Here's a photo of their blending table, they will sample about 30-40 barrels and will narrow it to the 12-13 that exhibit the right profile for a batch.

An interview I conducted with the distillery manager.

@cricklewood / all: some very nice shots in this discussion. Offer: if you wish, send them to me in full size format (pm for my email) and I'll apply some post-processing tricks if you wanna put your art on 'yer wall

Not on the scale of some of those other warehouse pics from @paddockjudge etc, this is inside one of the Springbank warehouses. A lot of charm (and dirt).

Apparently Springbank only have three valinches in the whole place!

The lovely and unusual church in Campbeltown...

… The view of which, through the bars (look closely!) in the wall around Glengyle distillery inspired the Kilkerran branding.

Finally a shot of Bowmore. Almost deserted even during Feis Islay week (on Bruichladdich day).

@dougwatts, nice!

Getting my own picture of that window at Glengyle probably belongs somewhere on my bucket list.

View from Bunnahabhain. From my trip to Islay this year. Shot on film.

@Nickh loving the photos.

@Nickh ah... Very nice to see someone still shooting film... Tri-x?

Thanks.

@RikS Fuji Acos. First film i've shot in a while.

Through the looking glass...at A. Smith Bowman Distillery.

@Nickh, that is a great shot!

@Nickh well it's nice to see proper grey scale and not the standard ultra contrast bw with 'clarity overkill'.

Shelter Point: Pot Stills and Spirit Safe

There are plans to add a column/coffey still just to the foreground and left of the above image, according to the tour guide.

@casualtorture - Just looking through this thread again and can't help but think of the Walking Dead when I'm looking at those JD distillery images. Probably just me

@RianC Haha I can see that. Atlanta and Nashville, probably the same deciduous forests and vegetation combined with old buildings. Good thing the hills round there have plenty of gun toting boys to take care of any zombie problems.

@fiddich1980 the gin still at Shelter point is now installed, it's one of those hybrid pot/column combos, I saw a photo of it on Instagram but I can't seem to find it now.

@RianC are you thinking of hiding out in a rickhouse if there's a zombie apocalypse?

@cricklewood - I could think of worse places

@Nickh The picture at Bunnahabhain could seriously be a cover photo for the distillery or something. Have you shown it to them?
