Great pictures-what you cant relate in pictures is the smell of the distillery, its something else. Wonderful

Again, brilliant as ever P1M!

I lived in Pencaitland in the shadow of the maltings when I was wee, and the lovely light Glenkinchie IS my favourite malt - not that I'm in any way an expert.

Funny though, I was talking to friends a couple of weeks ago about Scotland. The perennial question (apart from "do you have a kilt?") cropped up: Can you recommend an good single malt. So I recommended Glenkinchie and made a rather rash promise...


Maybe I'll just turn up there in full highland dress 'wi a full boatil (and tak some photaes)'.

Watch this space, kilted brethren!

I totaly agree!! I have only been to bourbon distilleries.. The thing I remember the most is the sweet smell of the rack houses!!
