Whisky Travel Pics

Whisky as far as the eye can see.

What a selection! This is just one row.

@Nozinan impressive! I think I could even spot am almost exhaustive selection of amruts!

@RikS Almost exhaustive. No Naarangi. Apparently someone took 8 off the shelves a few weeks ago.

@Nozinan - Am I the only one that dribbled a bit looking at that picture?

It's what my whisky room would (will!) look like when I win the lottery

@Nozinan world of whisky is a real treasure trove, so many interesting bottles in such a small space. The staff is super friendly as well. Calgary is a lucky town to have such a plethora of quality retailers.

@Nozinan That’s the kind of place I would like to win one of those 2 minute shopping sprees like they sometimes do in grocery stores. All you can throw in the cart in 2 minutes, even 1 minute would do.

I was In Tokyo back in late June. Many of you knew this from my pics on the whisky I just purchased thread. Well, here I am at the Bic Camera store in a department store, second floor, on the west side of Shinjuku station. You will find the liquor section and a nice little bar. I was able to have a nice flight of the Yamazaki NAS, 12yo and 18yo. I never had the 18yo before, but when I learned about this place by watching a video on YouTube, I knew I had to get there.

Not bad for 2000 JPY, around 18 USD. I am sure I will go back when I go to Tokyo in September.

@ajjarrett one more photo from Bic Camera, which I dedicate to @scotchtestdummi

@ajjarrett 2,000 yen is cheap, I bet that 18yo was great!

@ajjarrett I have stayed in Shinjuku several times and have no idea how I overlooked that. I go to Bic Camera all the time.

Great find !

@Frost

This building should look familiar to you. Up in this area there are two entrances, I recommend the one further down 'away' from the station. I marked it as "closest entrance," so if you go in through here you ought to be right in front of the bar and liquor section.

@casualtorture You can be sure the next time I am in Tokyo, I will be going back. The 18yo Yamazaki is extremely enjoyable, but I will never shell out the money for a bottle, so this works for me.

@ajjarrett thank you, I will be sure to go there.

Went to Scotland (quick stop in Islay) in 2017 with my wife and two sons. In 2018 I went back to Islay for 5 days and took my dad, BIL and a good friend. I have many pictures but I will start with a few (you guys can just tell me to stop )

First is the warehouse tour at Lagavulin. This was from the 2017 trip. Iain was running our warehouse experience. He was great!

Here's Iain!

We had a great time at Bunnahabhain. With all the construction going on, it will look a lot different than it does in these pictures. These pictures are from 2018.

This building is supposed to be removed during the construction.

And, of course, if you visit Bunnahabhain, you need to do the Warehouse N0. 9 tour!

Went to Bruichladdich in 2017 and 2018. We did the Botanist Gin Tour in 2018 to break things up a bit. Here is the spirit safe.

They were cleaning the washbacks that day. Kind of a neat picture...

@TracerBullet thank you for the nice pics and good information!

@TracerBullet Love seeing the photos - thanks

@Victor Oh, I have many more pictures. Figured I better hold back or I might get run out of Connosr! I will try to post more tomorrow.

@TracerBullet This photo is truly quality. I can imagine this being in the Whisky Magazine, or even a scene from a film/documentary about a distillery.

You got good eyes. ^_^

@TracerBullet keep going, we like good photography!

@ajjarrett @TracerBullet

I forgot to mention that the photo I was referring to, specifically, was the one of the washbacks.

Here are some more from the 2017 trip. Oban Distillery.

Unfortunately we didn't spend as much time at the distillery as I would have liked.

Visitors Center:

One of our group was in search of The Highland Chocolatier, Iain Burnett. www.highlandchocolatier.com She really loves chocolate...

Lucky for me, Dalwhinnie Distillery does a chocolate and whisky pairing and they serve Mr. Iain Burnett's chocolates! So off to Dalwhinnie!
