For those of us with less than perfect scottish brogues or knowledge of precisely where to put the accent or of what certain combinations of letters do to make a sound, below find the link to the guide to pronouncing the names of the multitudes of whisky distilleries in Scotland. Some are obvious, some are famous, some are tricky, but virtually all are entertaining to those of us who enjoy the taste of a fine single malt scotch whisky but may not be able to optimally pronounce its name.

Enjoy!

A couple of my favorites are Teaninich (a bottle of which I recently acquired), Bunnahabhain, Bruichladdich, and Craigellachie.

After this none of us should be ashamed to order an unusual dram, and we will probably have to educate the wait-staff on what we are asking for by name.
