New Scotch Distilleries Opening This year

[Terry Searl]

Unfortunately whisky doesn't age in the bottle

Yes that is so true although some less educated in the fine art of whiskey making may think it does.
Even the location in the aging warehouse is important in the process.
My chum had an 18 year old Wiser's Canadian Rye whisky that he kept sealed for 30 years and when he opened it, there was a difference from the new version of their 18 year old expression, but it was because Wiser's had moved their distillery and the water they now use is not from the same source. They employ a different master blender, and there are other environmental issues. Combined they really did make a difference

A milestone today when four copper stills were delivered to the Borders Distillery here in Hawick. This will be the first legally produced whisky from the Scottish Borders for almost 200 years. By early evening two of the new stills had already been unwrapped from their plastic covers and were being installed indoors. Whisky will be produced by The Three Stills Company, better known for their Clan Fraser blended whisky.

If you are in the Falkirk area later this year you can visit a new distillery that is being opened in Polmont, 10 minutes from Falkirk centre.

I work on a small cruise ship and we drop guests ashore in Glen More Bay, on the Ardnamurchan peninsular, there lies the Ardnamurchan distillery at Glenbeg, which prides itself on being very "green" and sustainable.
