News from the Distillery Team:
The winter season is always a busy one for James and the team at The Distillery. When we wrote to you in the summer, building work was on hold for our new warehouse number 5 whilst the Golden Eagles welcomed their young. We are pleased to announce that they are now the parents of two new eaglets and building work is back full steam ahead! The plans for our VIP Tasting room are well on track and our order for two new stills has been placed. We are looking forward to taking delivery of these in 2016 and increasing our capacity in line with the projected demand in the future.
Brand new warehouse 6 is serving us well and is now home to our short term cask storage and cask finish whiskies. It has provided us with just the flexibility we needed in this area and we are delighted with the progress we have made this year. For the time being, the winter weather seems to be slowly creeping up on us and this is the time of year that our Distillery team work on distilling our peated Single Malt, The Machrie Moor, just before the closure in January for our maintenance and cleaning work. The smell of fruity peated whisky in the air on a crispy winter morning is quite something!
