Whisky Distilleries: Scotch Whisky Association

Whisky, in all its iterations, is not just an end product, not just a drink...though it is a good one at that. It is a science, an art, alchemy and magic, geography and history, and it is people (um, not like soylent green...). There are many exemplary sites out there on the making and tasting of whisky, and I don't intend on reinventing that wheel. I just want to bring some story to what I think is a fascinating process.
You can see more whisky photographs as well as not-just-whisky photographs and ramblings if you follow the links in the sidebar. Please take a look...or not.

welcome

Go to Scotland. It's a beautiful place with lots to offer. In 2001 my father and I made our first trip there together built around single malt Scotch whisky. I chose the distilleries to visit and dad had fun creating the itinerary and making all the necessary arrangements. We've been doing that almost every year since.

The focus of this blog is to share some of the photographs I've taken in and around those distilleries. According to the Scotch Whisky Association website there are 148 working distilleries in Scotland as of March 2024, and there are more in the works. Just as some folks get a kick out of "bagging munroes" (adding to their list of Scottish mountains they've climbed), I've got quite a few more visits to make to get anywhere near bagging them all. And as you'll see, there's more than just Scotland here.

I hope you'll enjoy the ongoing journey with me. It's been a blast so far.
