hmmm Scotch


Scotch whiskey has only three ingredients- barley, water and yeast. So for a good scotch having good water is important. I dropped by the Glenlivet distillery for a sticky beak. I chose Glenlivet because my cupboard almost always has a bottle or two to enjoy and it is the world's biggest selling single malt scotch.

The law in Scotland is very prescriptive about what scthc is and interestingly it must be aged at least three years. The two photos show the distillery and the spring well that is the source of Glenlivet! All of it comes from there.

Earlier in the day i visited the Queen at her holiday home, Balmoral Castle, but she wasn't in. I still had a look around the gardens though.
