I had another day off, so we decided to visit the only distillery that remains open to the public during winter (well, the only one we could find, anyway).

Great tour, and a free tasting at the end of the tour.









And to show you the weather which we encountered on the trip.

I hate you, FatBoy-stard.

We tried the 12 year old, 15 year old and 18 year old Glenfiddich Single Malts.  Or as the guide called them, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

Directly below my apartment in Aberdeen I have this:

The Grill Bar, Aberdeen Scotland - Aberdeen bars, traditional pubs, whisky

A very wide selection of Whisky from around the world.  I was going to ask if they have any Lark, but I thought that I shouldn't travel half way around the world to buy a Whisky that comes from Hobart!!

Lar de lar, lar, lar, lar.....
I'm not listening.
Lar, lar, lar, lar.......

Ahhh, The Grill, come out of there well and truly plastered a few times over the years.

A traditional pub, only has a gents toilet, women are welcome nowadays but have to move on if they need to go!!

You picked one of the best dishtilleriesh there Jamie, have you tried any of the Orcadian Malts?  Highland Park is my favourite and then for a completely different taste I like to head to Skye for a wee Talisker

I found out today that a true Scotsman will not tell you what he wears under his kilt.  He'll bloody well show you!!!

Visited here a few years ago and the place was full of american tourist buying anything and everything with tartan on it.

The price of the whisky on sales in the factory shop was way above normal price.

As staying local i called into the village store just a mile or so away and the prices were at least 60% cheaper and a better selection

I hope the samples didn't come out of the backwash vat, Jamie.....

All of Glenfiddich Whisky passes through the "washback" vat.  All tasted very nice to me!!

Urban Dictionary: backwash   

[FatBoy]

That would be "backwash" not "washback".  Either way, the whisky was very nice.

Glad you enjoyed it, Jamie!
