    The place.
    The stills - everyone too busy to waste time shining them.Only about 600 barrels of the original pre-1994 stuff.A rather nice original padlock.The still for producing The Botanist gin.Octomore 14.4. - very heavily peated but excellent with a drop of water.Last evening on site.

    Too much whisky

    March 19, 2024 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    Not a birding day in spite of the best weather yet. A tour of the Bruichladdich distillery was much more engaging than I expected and at daughter’s long-distance insistence I spent more on a bottle of whisky than I ever had before - probably because my judgement was clouded by the tasting session. Anyway, nice to have a full unopened bottle to look forward to.
    Two more leg-ringed Choughs seen feeding in a cattle field were the Birdy highlight of the day. I’ve gone the whole week without seeing an eagle, which is a bit frustrating.
