Scotland
can be a very wet country, although beautiful on a clear day, Scotland
does get a lot of rain especially in the highland mountain regions. All
this rain runs
down mountains streams and burns to fill our rivers and lochs. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Filtering
through the peat moors into burns, streams and rivers, carrying with
it some slight memory of its long journey through the highlands. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Finally
it collects helping to form some of our spectacular Scottish scenery in
the Scottish lochs, rivers and reservoirs where our brewers and distillers
collect it as an important ingredient in the making of whisky. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
As it filters
down through the hills it provides water for the
heathers whose flowers will ultimately be used by the bees to make
the honey used in some of our liqueur whiskies. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Finally it's brewed and distilled
using high quality grain produce, specialised yeasts and secret recipes
from long ago;
ensuring each distillery has it's own set of unique flavours. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
After
maturing in wooden barrels for many years it's bottled and shipped
from these old Scottish distilleries to destinations all over the world.
It's Scotland's national drink. |

At long
last, maybe ten, fifteen, even thirty years or more later you can sit in
Airdrie Cellar Bar smell their aromas, admire their colours, taste
their exquisite flavours and feel their warmth. |
