IIt’s all about the light...
Fotograferen is schrijven met licht, maar wat als er (bijna) geen licht is? Als de hemel
diep-grauw is en kleuren verdwijnen? Dan kan je natuurlijk een flitser gebruiken,
maar voor landschapsfotografie biedt dat geen soelaas. Het enige dat er op zit is ...
wachten. Of een andere keer terugkomen, natuurlijk.

In dit geval was terugkomen geen optie, want mijn verblijf op Skye, in februari, liep
ten einde. Wachten dus, op wat het licht zou doen. De compositie was bepaald, en

deed, met de beroemde Cuillins op de achtergrond.
Hoeveel geluk kan je hebben als fotograaf? Veel meer niet, lijkt me. Zeker niet toen

5 things about Scotland
5 Things you didn’t know
about Scotland
Tartan: Scotland’s Famous Patterned Woven Textile
It’s the most recognizable pattern associated with Scotland. Tartan consists of “interwoven vertical and horizontal lines, known as a sett,” according to Scotland’s National Tourism Organisation. The pattern is seen on shirts, kilts and other clothing.
April 6 Commemorates the Signing of Arbroath in 1320
The Declaration of Arbroath, a declaration of Scottish independence, was signed on
April 6, 1320. Scottish barons and earls then sent the declaration, in the form of a
letter, to Pope John XXII to assert Scotland’s status as an independent state. It also
asked the pontiff to recognize “Robert the Bruce as the country’s lawful king,” accord-
ing to the National Records of Scotland. The American Declaration of Independence
was modeled after the Declaration of Arbroath.
In the United States, the Senate passed a resolution in 1998 to designate April 6 as
“National Tartan Day.”
“Whereas this resolution honors the major role that Scottish Americans played in the
founding of this nation, such as the fact that almost half of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were of Scottish descent, the governors in nine of the original
13 States were of Scottish ancestry, Scottish Americans successfully helped shape
this country in its formative years and guide this nation through its most troubled
times.” the resolution said.
In 2005, the House passed similar resolution.

About Scotland vervolg
“Auld Lang Syne” Is a Traditional Scottish Song
It’s the tune that New Year’s Eve revelers love to belt out. Written by poet Robert
Burns in 1788, the song was set to a traditional Scottish folk melody. “Auld Lang
Syne” literally means “old long since,” according to Scotland’s official government
site.
Below is the original Scots version of Auld Lang Syne:
1. Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o’ auld lang syne.
Chorus And for auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne,
2. And surely ye’ll be your pint-stowp!
And surely I’ll be mine!
And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
3. We twa hae run about the braes
And pu’d the gowans fine;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary foot
Sin auld lang syne.
4. We twa hae paidl’d i’ the burn,
Frae mornin’ sun till dine;

Not all Bagpipes: From Snow Patrol to Idlewild to Susan Boyle
While Scottish music is often associated with bagpipes, there are several artists who
hail from or got their start in Scotland, including “Britain’s Got Talent’s” Susan Boyle,
Scottish/Northern Irish band Snow Patrol, rock band Big Country and indie band
Frightened Rabbit.

Gaelic Still Alive in Scotland
While English is still the main language spoken in Scotland, there more than 150
other languages spoken, including the ancient Celtic language of Gaelic. According
to the “Attitudes Toward the Gaelic Language” study in 2011, 80 percent of the Scot-
tish population was “aware of Gaelic being used in Scotland, with highest awareness
of Gaelic usage in the media (61percent).” Another 39 percent mentioned Gaelic
used in education. Gaelic is also used in transportation signage.

Visit Scotland
Romantisch februari
Wat te doen in februari?
Februari is een fantastische maand voor de wintersport en het spectaculaire winterlandschap van Schotland. Ontdek wat er allemaal te doen is in februari.
Gastronomie in februari
In februari wordt Valentijnsdag gevierd, de ideale gelegenheid om elkaar te verwen-
nen met heerlijke Schotse gerechten! Proef verse oesters uit Loch Fyne of het Isle
of Skye, of geniet van heerlijke langoustines op hun best. Mosselen komen deze
maand aan het einde van hun seizoen, terwijl de wilde zalmtijd juist begint. Proef het
eens op een bed van knapperige en smakelijke wintersla.
Als u een waarlijk luxe dinerervaring wilt meemaken, kunt u geen betere keuze
doen dan een van de restaurants met Michelinster in Schotland. Er zijn in totaal 15
bekroonde restaurants met de heerlijkste gerechten en een onberispelijke service
overal in het land, van Martin Wishart en Castle Terrace in Edinburgh tot de Peat
Inn in Fife en Kinloch Lodge op het schitterende Isle of Skye. Zoetekauwen zullen
genieten van de bijzondere traktaties van Iain Burnett, die bekend staat als de
Highland Chocolatier. Zijn stijlvolle winkel in Grantully in Perthshire ligt vol heerlijke
truffels, praliné’s en florentines, en in zijn tweede winkel in St Andrews vindt u de
exclusieve Hot Velvet Shot, een decadent cacaodrankje perfect voor koud februariweer.
Evenementen in februari
De St Andrews Food Fayre vindt plaats op 7 en 8 februari 2015, en geeft bezoekers

aan de historische universiteitsstad te kans om van de heerlijkste Schotse producten
te genieten. Meer dan 50 producenten uit geheel Schotland vullen de Younger Hall
met hun zalige waren, van vlees en zuivelproducten tot cakes en chocolaatjes, terwijl
professionele chef-koks iedereen inspireren met hun kookdemonstraties.
eniet van een uitje naar de film tijdens het Glasgow Film Festival dat op 18 februari voor de 11e keer van start gaat. Dit is momenteel het snelst groeiende
filmfestival in GB en duurt 12 dagen. Zie lange en korte films uit de hele wereld en
geniet van het uitstekende Glasgow Youth Film Festival, dat helemaal door jonge
mensen wordt ingevuld. Maak tussen 11 en 15 februari een romantische wande-
ling door het Cambo Estate in Fife, en bewonder de ‘Snowdrops by Starlight’,
een van de hoogtepunten van het Schotse sneeuwklokjesfestival. Tijden deze
spectaculaire licht- en geluidsshow wordt het terrein omgetoverd in een sprookjesland. Prachtige installaties in het bos, handgemaakte beelden en honderden
witte winterbloemen. Wie een steviger wandeling en excursies in de buitenlucht
zoekt, zal geïnspireerd worden door het Fort William Mountain Festival. Ga tussen 18 en 22 februari naar deze stad in de Highlands en luister naar fascine-
rende lezingen door fantastische bergbeklimmers en mountain bikers, bekijk de
nieuwste documentaires of doe mee met de zware races of de workshops in het
nabijgelegen Nevis-gebergte.
Activiteiten in februari
In de schitterende Schotse bergen staat u het ultieme winteravontuur te wachten:

Geniet van een spannede ski- en snowboardvakantie in het prachtige landschap
van de Highlands. In Schotland vindt u vijf fantastische skigebieden, elk met groene,
blauwe, rode en zwarte pistes: Nevis Range, Glencoe Mountain, CairnGorm Moun-
tain, The Lecht en Glenshee.
Het wintersportseizoen loopt van december t/m april, afhankelijk van de weersom-

standigheden en sneeuwval. En dankzij de moderne sneeuwmachines zijn de skigebieden in de meeste gevallen zelfs nog langer open.
De faciliteiten in de Schotse wintersportbestemmingen doen niet onder voor de rest
van Europa. Er zijn bijvoorbeeld speciale skihutten gebouwd met café’s, bars, win-
kels en toiletten. Uitrusting en kleding is ter plekke te huur of bij de onafhankelijke ski
en snowboard verhuurders in de omgeving van de wintersportplaatsen.
Bovendien kunt u in alle wintersportplaatsen ski- of snowboardles nemen of uw techniek bijschaven in een veilige omgeving onder het wakend oog van een professio-
nele skileraar. Er zijn allerlei skischolen met speciale aanbiedingen voor freestyle,
westrijdskiën en off-piste skiën.
De ski- en snowboardcentra van Schotland liggen dichtbij de grote steden, de
meeste liggen binnen drie uur van Edinburgh en Glasgow. Er gaat een groot aantal
budgetvluchten naar Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen en Inverness, dus een ski- en
snowboardvakantie in Schotland is zeer voordelig.
Wildlife in februari
De frisse, heldere dagen in dit seizoen zijn ideaal om de meest indrukwekkende
vogels van Schotland te kunnen zien. Veel voorkomende roofvogels, zoals buizerds,
vindt u overal in het land, terwijl de Schotse Highlands en eilanden het ideale woongebied vormen voor de adembenemende steenarend en zeearend.
De zeearend is de grootste roofvogel in Groot-Brittannië en de op drie na grootste
arend ter wereld, met een fenomenaal gezichtsvermogen. Nadat de zeearend in de
19e eeuw werd uitgeroeid in de jacht, is hij onlangs met succes in het wild vrijgelaten
in bepaalde delen van Schotland. De kracht en schoonheid van deze vogels maakt
niet alleen op fervente vogelkijkers indruk.

Schotland is een wereldbestemming voor liefhebbers van de hengelsport, zowel
zoetwater- als zeevissen. Het hele jaar door kunt u deze sport overal in het land
fantastisch beoefenen.
Een dagje vissen aan de rivier is een heerlijke manier om van het indrukwekkende
landschap te genieten. He zalmvisseizoen van Schotland wisselt per rivier, maar
over het algemeen kunt van 11 januari tot 30 november altijd ergens terecht.
Het officiële forelseizoen loopt van 15 maart t/m 6 oktober, hoewel sommige rivieren
in Aberdeenshire en de Highlands open zijn tot 1 april.
Let tijdens het plannen van uw hengelsportvakantie op het volgende: Op zondag is
het streng verboden op zalm en meerforel te vissen. Andere vormen van vissen zijn
wel toegestaan, zoals vissen in stilstaand water. Zorg dat u een visvergunning heeft
voor u uitwerpt. De rivieren worden meestal beheerd door landeigenaren, hengelsportverengingen en/of commerciële visserijen.
In maart kunt u in de rivier de Tweed vissen met professionele hulp van een “Tweed
Guide”. Of u kunt een gids inhuren voor bijvoorbeeld sportvissen op meerforel, At-

Wildlife in maart
In maart komt het spectaculaire landschap van Schotland helemaal tot leven: De
lentebloemen bloeien in felle kleuren en er zijn vele wilde dieren te zien. Bovendien
is dit een belangrijke datum voor hengelsportliefhebbers, want nu begint het seizoen
voor meerforel. Op de symbolische Bass Rock aan de kust van East Lothian is bijna
de helft van alle Europese zeevogels te vinden, met belangrijke kolonies jan-vangenten, alken en zeekoeten.
Handgemaakte Kilts en
Handgemaakte bagpipes
Van maart tot september wordt bezoekers de fantastische mogelijkheid geboden om
de Bass Rock in een boot te bezoeken vanuit het Scottish Seabird Centre in North
Berwick. Bovendien kunt u de vogels het hele jaar door volgen op de webcams in het
vogelbeschermingscentrum.
Kilts & bagpipes gemaakt
volgens Schotse traditie.
Nog een hoogtepunt in maart, dat u zeker niet mag missen, zijn de vele velden met
sneeuwklokjes. Aangezien sneeuwklokjes in verschillende omstandigheden bloeien,
zijn de prachtige witte lentebloempjes in geheel Schotland te zien.

Cambo Estate in St Andrews, Fife is het middelpunt van het jaarlijkse Scottish Snow-
drop Festival, waarin de populaire lentebloem in het zonnetje wordt gezet door middel van wandelingen en evenementen in het landgoed.
In Dumfries & Galloway vindt elk jaar het ‘Wild Spring Festival’ plaats, met meer
dan 100 evenementen rondom de Schotse natuur en het dierenleven. Workshops
en wandelingen met plaatselijke deskundigen, tochten voor het hele gezin en nog
veel meer; dit festival is een fantastische kans om meer te weten te komen over het
natuurschoon en wildlife in de regio.

ban and during the 1800s the kilt evolved into something like what we wear today.
This is known in Gaelic as the feileadh beag (philabeg) or little wrap.
The top and bottom parts were separated, the top half (the plaid) being worn over the
shoulder and detachable for comfort. The bottom part was now tailored with sewn in
pleats but no hire companies were on the horizon just yet.
Originally the apron of the garment (the front part) was left unattached but one story,
possibly apocryphal, has it that during a visit by Queen Victoria kilt wearers were subHet Wapen van Schotland is een gezellig Schots restaurant in het centrum van Hooghalen waar

U kunt gezellig een aperitiefje nuttigen aan onze typisch Schotse whiskybar met zijn ruime en

Op onze uitgebreide menukaart vindt u naast traditionale Schotse gerechten zoals: Haggis,

jected to strong winds revealing to her majesty what was worn underneath! Perhaps
that’s why she became so fond of Scotland.
Some say that this event created the demand for the kilt pin, supposedly used to help
keep the garment in place, but actually the pin is only a decoration and should not be
pinned through the two layers or ‘aprons’ of the Kilt.
The original feileadh mhór was a utility, plaid garment worn only by Highlanders. It
was not used in central or southern parts of Scotland. It consisted of about 6 yards of
wool material about two yards wide. The plaid is not to be confused with the American use of the word plaid to describe tartan or checked material.
In Gaelic a plaid is a blanket, not the distinctive checked pattern. Early versions were

available at the time.
The feileadh mór was worn using a complex folding routine. It was first spread on
the ground then the wearer lay on it before folding it round the waist and over the
shoulders. It was held in place at the waist using a broad leather belt.
History of the kilt vervolg
The top part of the material that was worn over one shoulder left the other arm free
to use a sword. It could also be used to wrap around oneself to keep out the cold and
to carry things like the day’s food. In battle it was easy to divest. It only required the
belt to be undone for the whole thing to fall away from the body.
The kilt has now become more formal dress wear rather than a practical garment. It
is commonly worn in Scotland at occasions like weddings and formal functions and is
acceptable on all occasions where one would wear a dinner suit or tuxedo.
It is once more gaining in popularity and most Scottish weddings are now conducted
with the groom, best man and lots of the male guests in kilts, whether these are
owned or hired. This is in contrast to many other kinds of traditional wear, even
lounge suits, which are increasingly seen as old-fashioned by today’s trendy young
men.
The kilt outfit of your choice is readily available to buy or hire everywhere and the
kilt has once again started to evolve, this time into a fashion garment worn at every
opportunity by many well known celebrities both Scots and non-Scots.
Many gentlemen can attest to the Kilts ability to make you feel like a million dollars.
As soon as it goes on you feel your chest swell, your spine straightens and you feel
four inches taller.
In the last few years the kilt has also been making an appearance as casual wear,
worn with just a traditional, Ghilllie or Jacobean style shirt, a wool sweater or even a
tee shirt. The young men who now wear it this way also wear big socks and hiking
boots, which may be frowned upon by traditionalists but it does create an appropriate
casual kilt outfit.

Year of Food and Drink 2015
Year of Food and Drink Scotland 2015 is a Scottish Government initiative led in partnership by EventScotland, VisitScotland and Scotland Food & Drink.
The aim of Year of Food and Drink 2015 is to spotlight, celebrate and promote Scotland’s natural larder and quality produce to our people and our visitors and in doing
so, further develop Scotland’s reputation as a Land of Food and Drink.
Food and drink is an important part of Scottish cultural identity and heritage and is a
key strength in promoting Scotland as a holiday destination.
For example, did you know that 49% of people visiting Scotland want to try local food
and two-thirds of Scotland’s visitors think that quality food is an important factor when
deciding where to go on holiday?
The main objectives for the Food and Drink Year are:
• To increase contribution to the overall value of the sector from tourism and events
• To sustain and build upon the momentum generated by Homecoming Scotland

Ingredients
150ml water
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup whipping (heavy) cream
3 cups water
2 cups Scotch whisky
1/4 cup (3 ounces) honey
500g granulated sugar
1.5ml cream of tartar
90g unsalted (sweet) butter
Oil for greasing a baking tin (pan)
5ml lemon juice
1.5ml vanilla essence (extract)
Method
Method
Put the oats in a nylon straining bag (I use a paint strainer bag from the hardware sto-
re), and place the bag in a deep bowl. Add the water and let the oats steep overnight.
The next morning, squeeze the water out of the bag (do not expect to get a return of
3 cups liquid - there will be less), saving the oats for cooking or discard. Put the liquid
in a saucepan, add the honey, and heat gently until the honey dissolves. Remove
pan from heat and let cool slightly.
Stir in the cream, then add the whisky.
Refrigerate until cool before serving. The beverage will keep in the refrigerator for a
couple of months, or in the freezer indefinitely.
If it has a tendency to separate - a vigorous shake will be all it takes to restore it
whole.
Well oil an 28cm x 18cm shallow baking tin (pan). Put the water and lemon juice in
a heavy-based saucepan and heat until slightly warm. Stir in the sugar and continue
to heat gently, stirring with awooden spoon, until all the sugar has been thoroughly
dissolved. Don’t allow it to boil.
Stir in the cream of tartar and bring to the boil to 115C on a sugar thermometer (or
until a teaspoon ful of the mixture forms a soft ball when it is dropped into a cup of
cold water.
Remove from the heat and beat in the butter. Return to the heat and boil to 138C or
when a teaspoon of the mixture forms a thin thread when dropped into a cup of cold
water. (The thread will bend and break when pressed between the fingers)
Remove from the heat and beat in the vanilla essence (extract). Pour into the oiled tin
and leave until it is almost set. Then mark into small rectangles with a knife. When it
is competely set, break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

Schotland, het land van de ruige heuvels,
het heldere water, de Schotse Kilts, de
doedelzak spelers en de Highlandgames
maar bovenal het land van de Schotse Malt
Whisky.
Jaarlijks wordt er ruim 330 miljoen liter
levenswater gedistilleerd door meer dan
100 verschillende distilleerderijen. Het
land is voor de whiskywereld ingedeeld
in verschillende regio’s, de Lowlands,
Highlands, Speyside en de Island. Elke
streek heeft zijn eigen kenmerken en
iedere distilleerderij weer zijn eigen
karakter. De veelkleurigheid aan whisky
is zodoende erg groot en zeer gewild bij de
liefhebbers van Malt Whisky.
Schotse Malt Whisky Proeverij
op vrijdag 13 maart 2015
van 19:30 uur tot 22:30 uur
Het rijpen van whisky gebeurt op eikenvaten van verschillende afkomst.
Amerikaanse witeiken, de zogenaamde bourbonvaten, Europese eikenvaten,
Oloroso sherry-en wijnvaten, zo komen allemaal voorbij. Natuurlijk komt ook de
liefhebber van peaty en smoke aan zijn trekken. Een diapresentatie over de smaken,
de soorten en het distilleren maakt het geheel compleet. Dit mag je dus echt niet
missen!
Ook u kunt kennis maken met een ruime selectie van whisky’s uit Schotland. Allen
hebben zij het predicaat Schotse Malt Whisky en zijn afkomstig uit de voornoemde
regio’s.
De Whisky Proevers verzorgen uw Whisky Nosing & Tasting bij u thuis of op lokatie.
In de agenda op onze website staat tevens een aantal interessante Nosing & Tastings
vermeld, verdeeld over het jaar.

Café De Pompier
Nieuw Whiskycafé in Nederland
Per januari 2015 voert Café De Pompier in Woerden een mooie
whiskykaart.
Eigenaar Pike UIttenbogaard kwam in Edinburgh met de klassieke Schotse whisky
regio-indeling in aanraking en wilde dit concept in zijn eigen café terug laten komen.
Op de kaart worden de klassieke regio’s vertegenwoordigd door 20 ervoor typerende
whisky’s (en één Nederlandse, de Millstone French Oak) en achter elke whisky staat
een cijfer waarbij de klant uitgelegd wordt dat als men meerdere whisky’s proeft dat
gedaan moet worden van het laagste naar het hoogste cijfer. Doeltreffend is er de
mogelijkheid te kiezen voor proefglaasjes van 2 cl. of voor een glas van 3,5 cl. om
lekker van een favoriete whisky te genieten.
Tevens is er een naslagwerk gemaakt waarin meer uitleg over de whisky’s en bijbehorende distilleerderijen gegeven wordt.
Het personeel heeft een gedegen introductie in de karakteristieke kenmerken van
whisky gekregen zodat klanten goed geadviseerd kunnen worden en bij de klanten

Liz and Paul (owners of MCLEANSCOTLAND, WHISKY TOUR
SCOTLAND & ANGELS WHISKY CLUB) spent their Christmas
staff outing in Elgin and Kingussie, Scotland. The annual outing this year (2014) saw them driving up to Elgin, leaving Broughty
Ferry at 07.45 on Thursday, via Aberdeen, Huntly and Keith, to arrive at Elgin approx.
11.30. Some local shopping (Liz) and lunch before dropping into Glen Moray distillery
- as previously planned.
Says Paul; A quick nose around the shop (for later), a cup of tea, then a wee chat with
Iain, our friend and whisky man at GM. It was Iain who would take us both on a half
day whisky school - I have to say, this was originally for the benefit of Liz, but I too
learned a lot! Discovering all areas of the distillery, in depth knowledge flooded out
of Iain, didnee know you were also a chemist Iain! It was a really grand time we had,
both of us learning new things and some we hadnee come across before, superb! This was followed by a tasting, Iain did us proud here - as you can see by the photos,
specially the one of Liz very content with a dram! There then followed what can only
be called “a Liz shopping frenzy!” A nice bottle and glasses in a box (4 of these), a
Chardonnay finish and two direct from the cask sherry finish, some wee goodies, all

and these produce a rich and spicy whisky. These casks deliver a superior product
that has a smooth and well-rounded taste. Being in the Laich O’Moray the distillery
Monadhliath Mountains. The distillery’s geographic location and also sitting in a hollow below the water table, means that the warehousing has the perfect conditions
to allow for the Angels to take more of a share of our whisky than they will of others
(and, being Angels whisky club we did take a fair swish of the drams Liz and I). Glen
Moray is available in a range of ages and vintages that will appeal to new malt drinkers as well as connoisseurs looking for something a bit more special. Readers, you
just cannee believe how low cost GM bottles are, for a bloomin grand dram.
I must point out here, we were NOT driving, we left the car (and goodies) overnight at
GM and took a taxi to our hotel. Where, a half hour later we started Christmas - in the
bar. Drinks were followed by dinner, more drinks. To be honest, at 9.15pm I stopped
drinking - new laws came into effect Friday, you could not have even ONE drink on
your breath - so a bottle of non-alcoholic wine came oot - horrible, so bad after one
glass it went down the pan. We laughingly tried to do some work - paperwork on
forthcoming tours, 5 minutes in, we left it alone.

Speyside distillery
A wee story narrated by Paul. Friday December 5th.
Liz and Paul where invited up to the distillery for a show around and chat with Distillery Manager Sandy Jamieson. Sandy knew we were coming up and was ready
for us at 11am. We arrived relaxed and looking forward to our meeting, driving down
from Elgin where we had stayed the night before. A beautiful December Friday, a
good drive ending up at Kingussie, where we stopped for a wee tea and scone, then
driving past Ruthven Barracks down a winding country road, we found the entrance
drive.
The Speyside distillery is located in Drumguish, close to Kingussie. We had mentioned our trip to a few people and they were under the impression the distillery would
be in Dufftown, Elgin or similar location - as the name suggested. However, it is
located near the source of the Spey. It produces the Spey single malt and Drumguish
single malt. The distillery was founded in 1962 by George Christie. It was built by
hand by George Christie over the next decades, and was finished in 1987. It took
another three years until whisky production started in 1990.
Upon arrival we were greeted by Sandy, a quick chat, then a few quick questions for
him, we retired to his office. The two pot stills are some of the smallest in Scotland.
The Glenspey mash tun was the very last one fitted by Newmill engineering before
they closed down. Though small the distillery can produce 600,000 litres of alcohol
per annum. The distillery is the most southern on Speyside and takes its water directly from the River Tromie.
Whilst Paul was talking, Liz tried a dram; an unaged malt called Drumguish - I must
say, it was not here favourite, but, as she said, it would be a good entry level single
malt for a beginner. “SANDY how long have you worked in the whisky industry?” I
have been here since 2013, prior to that I started out in 1979, working for various
companies including Diageo. I am now manager at Spey. “HOW MANY PEOPLE

WORKING HERE?” Myself, 2 others and a tractor driver, on a two rota shift. “HOW
DO YOU CASK THE WHISKY?” We have a tanker taking 16,000 litres of new spirit
every 8 days to our warehouses in Glasgow.
By now both Liz and Paul were looking round Sandy’s “office”, a delightful loft space,
with drinks cupboard, desk, table and chairs, a row of Highland Dress - kilts, jackets,
shoes etc - begging the question... “do you look after a pipe band?” These are held
here to give some notion of feeling Scottish to special guests - namely a party from

Asia recently, who all donned the kilt! (see facebook; SPEY Whisky). Liz was on her
second dram, so Sandy suggested looking over the distillery, so we did! A small set
up with a pair of stills, all equipment housed in one space, a nice old stone building,
reminding Paul of a kirk (church). Sandy took us outside - a really nice, country set-
ting, complete with river and waterwheel, to a bothy where drinks could be found!
Another old stone building with a lime-washed interior, where we could see the range
of the drams made here. It didnee stop here, another wee room located under his
office was the dram room, superb wee room neither Liz nor Paul wanted to leave.
Here, Sandy explained more on the distillery history, drams and plans whilst Liz accepted large drams of - how shall I say this? Many excellent whiskies, more than we
normally have offered, Paul meantime was the driver, looking on enviously - Sandy
did give him a wee sample to take with him, so not all was lost! Time to mention
here; Paul had previously sampled the drams at a private tasting days before. By

his work. BUT - before we left, a wee book each Scotch Missed, autographed by

Sandy, sample drams to take home and a bottle of the Tawny Port finish - superb! etc.
Dragging Liz away, we almost made our escape before waving off Sandy, he gave a
good handshake, and a hug to Liz, who replied with a kiss. Was it a good visit? What
do you think? “Come back anytime” we will to be sure!

At excel wines with Paul Dempsey - a great distillery insight
The private whisky tasting was hosted by Exel Wines of Perth, a really good whisky
shop with many hard to find whiskies lying about on the shelves! It was given by Paul
Dempsey, Commercial Manager, Speyside Distillers Company Ltd. We were taken
through three drams, the TENNE, Latin for Tawny, as it is a Port finish, and - beauti-
ful! I better start from the start... When we say Speyside Distillery there are many
that simply think of the region. This is THE Speyside Distillery, a wee thing down
by Kingussie. This is a distillery that together with it’s owner company Harveys of
Edinburgh had bags of stories to tell whilst we enjoyed a dram of their 12 year Old,
18 Year Old and the Tenne (Tawny style). Along with a selected few (including our
guest Drew, from Phoenix Arizona) we sampled all three. My favourites of the even-
ing were the Tenne and the 18 year old, how do I try and tell you what they were like?
I won’t, I shall let you just try and find them for yourself, but be quick, limited supply at
limited outlets - more on that later. For example, the 18yo; comes dressed in a nice
looking tube, with certificate, a limited batch of only 1500 worldwide! I came away
with number 883. When you see the photos you will see what I mean by dressed, the
bottles are also real “lookers”. To say we had 3 tastings would be a lie, aye there were

Temple Bar
Tasting session at the Temple Bar, Temple, Dublin.
I was dondering around Dublin’s temple Bar district early one morning (when I say
early, I mean 10.45 ish, which is early opening for pubs) which I said I would not do,
far too touristy for me.
But, I thought at that hour there will be no tourists around, I found the door open at
the pub, so took myself inside and perched at the whiskey bar.
Behind the bar was Roberto, from Argentina; Patagonia, Chubut to be exact. He has
been there 12 years or so now and is in charge of the whiskey bar - and jeeze, he
knows his stuff.
Cannee mind what my first drink was, possibly a Paddy, but here are some of what
I tried or saw; Jameson Cask Mates, the whiskey is a Jameson as you’d expect, the
cask is then sent to the Franciscan Well brewery to steep itself in beer residue for 6
months, it then goes back to Jamesons, this approx. a 5 year old dram, very different from the others in the range, I liked it I have to say. The story begins with a pub
in Cork between Midleton’s Master of Science, David Quinn, and Franciscan Well’s
founder, Shane Long. Shane asked if he might lay his hands on a few spare whis-
key casks to age his beer in. Franciscan Well released its first Jameson cask-aged
stout in time for Christmas 2012. When the most recent batch of twelve casks went
back to Midleton, the distillery figured they might as well try their own experimental
maturation. The casks had only been used once to age pot still spirit before their
stout “seasoning” so there was plenty of oomph left in the wood. They refilled the
casks with blended Jameson (at around the normal cask strength of 60% rather than
bottling strength of 40%). After six months, according to Quinn, they were “shocked”
by the transformation. There was something interesting going on, something they
wanted to share with the rest of us. Hence Jameson Caskmates, 3,500 bottles of it. Next, I was introduced to a dram from Roberto’s homeland, Old Smuggler whisky.

A blend of Scottish fine malt whisky and Argentinian grain. I have to say, I was no
impressed sorry. There is another he told me about, Alazana Single Malt released
2011/12 – named after a horse would you believe? Other notable drams included; Powers single cask, pot still whiskey. A single pot still
release of Powers whisky. Crafted at the Midleton Distillery near Cork, Powers John
Lane Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is named after the original Powers Distillery, which
was situated on John’s Lane in Dublin. The whiskey is made exclusively from malted
and unmalted barley, which is triple distilled through pot-stills in the traditional Irish
way, matured in first fill ex-bourbon casks, while the remainder is aged in casks that
were previously used to mature Oloroso sherry. After a twelve-year rest the whiskey
is bottled 92 proof. Jack Ryan 12 year old single malt, this has the name of current proprietor Eunan
Ryan’s late father Jack who managed the establishment until his untimely death 36
years ago. ‘Ryan’s Malt’ had been produced by the family in association with the
Dublin Whiskey Distillery until this famous distillery closed its doors in 1946. Today’s
Jack Ryan ‘Beggars Bush’ Single Malt Irish Whiskey (46% ABV) has been aged for
12 years with no chill filtration. The whiskey has been matured in ex-bourbon bar-
rels hand-picked by the family themselves to deliver the unique taste. Only 1,450
bottles of Jack Ryan ‘Beggars Bush’ Single Malt have been produced. The Beggars
Bush has been at the centre of cultural and literary circles in Dublin since it opened
its doors in 1803. Residing next to the old Beggars Bush British army barracks it has
seen soldiers go to war against Napoleon and the Kaiser, revolution against the Brit-
ish and eventual handover to Michael Collins in 1922 followed by the execution of
Robert Erskine Childers, father of fourth president later that year by the Free State
Government. It was a few drams away from my usual - Black Bush!
Wild Geese, in a long high straight bottle, as opposed to the square bottles normally
found, interesting this one.

The history of the Irish Coffee
Powers is the traditional whiskey used in an Irish Coffee. It was created at
Foynes airbase in Co. Limerick... Foynes was an airbase near Limerick, in fact
it was the main airport for Flying Boats between America and Europe. By 1940,
the airport was handling many passengers, including many American VIP’s
from the world of politics and Hollywood. Weather conditions along the West
coast of Ireland can be notoriously bad, and often what was supposed to be just
a stopover for refuelling turned into an overnight stay. In 1942 a new restaurant
opened, which had the task of catering for the many important passengers
passing through Foynes and present a very positive image of Ireland and its
people to the world.
The story goes that Powers Irish Coffee was invented to appease a group of
tired and upset American tourists who had set off to make a 19 hour trip to New
York - they set off 10 hours before!
After 5 hours out the plane turned back due to a storm.
The head chef at Foynes, a Joe Sheridan, decided to warm them up, rather
than the tradition of adding whiskey to tea, he added it to coffee. He concocted a Powers with sugar and coffee and fresh whipped cream. As
they sipped their drinks, one passenger said “hey buddy, is this Brazillian coffee?” Sheridan replied “it is Irish Coffee”
To make a Powers Irish Coffee:
1.Pour a measure of Powers and two teaspoons of brown sugar into a prewarmed Powers Irish Coffee Glass.
2.Place a metal spoon in the glass.
3.Fill the glass with hot black coffee, allowing space at the top for cream before
stirring well.
4.Gently pour lightly whipped cream over the back of a spoon so that the
cream floats on the coffee.
Temple Bar, own label whiskey. Traditional Irish Whiskey; some spices, fruits, vanilla,
sweetness and wood, maybe plumbs in there! It is of course triple distilled, a blend,
there was a time when most Irish pubs bottled whiskey. This I believe, is selected
by Tom Clearly, bottled 10/2014, for the Temple Bar Whiskey Company. From small
batches, matured in bourbon oak casks and finest Port casks, then blended... I liked
it so much, I bought the bottle to take home!
I spent a deal of time at the bar with Roberto, a good man and knowing his whiskey,
so if you are in Dublin, take a morning visit to the bar, it does get very, very touristy
late afternoon/evening.

Mulligan’s Grocer
December 2014, Mulligan’s Grocer, Dublin.
I ventured out again into the wild world (after my Temple Bar tasting session) and
thought it time for some food, that’s another story, the one that lead me to Mulligan’s
Grocer - next story on my travels.
My meeting had been arranged with owner Michael some time back, time to pay him
a visit. So once there, and a cup of tea in my mits, we chatted away. I had sent a
whiskey tour group here earlier in the year with my mate/driver, Mark fae Belfast (he
does all our driving on the island of Ireland), to sample the grocer delights. By the
way, they later told me it was their tour highlight! Mark told the same story, so I needed to see myself what the fuss was aboot. It was a pre - Christmas day the bar was
no too busy, grand, just what I had wanted. Apart from the drink, Mulligan’s is also fa-
mous for it’s food selection, specially the Scotch Eggs!!! With a grand array of whisky
from everywhere, beers and wines spirits etc as usual it has a grand atmosphere and
great staff - are you warming to it already? I did as soon as I set toes in the place. A
big fella asks can he help, tis Michael I’m lookin fer says myself, there he is hiding
behind the wee partition. We sat down and had a cup of tea! Which I was thankful for
havin had many drams before I came in. We talked about whiskey, food, tour groups,
special tastings and whisky dinners. Get your taste buds around this idea;
Single Pot Still Dinner and Barrel Charring.

Enige verandering is de locatie, WHISKY IN LEIDEN 2015 zal plaatsvinden
in de Pieterskerk in Leiden. De Pieterskerk was jarenlang de locatie van het
whiskyevenement “het Internationaal Whiskyfestival” tegenwoordig Whisky Live
Holland wat in de Grote Kerk in Den Haag wordt gehouden. Vele van U is daar
als whiskyliefhebber wel eens een keer geweest en weet dan ook wat een geweldige locatie de Pieterskerk is.
Mulligans is only a short walk away, If I can do it, you can. Don’t expect a brand new
pub, full of flashing lights, pugy machines and jukies, this is a traditional hang out
where you only go for the drink/food/craik. In excess of 150 whiskeys from Ireland
and Scotland as well as a small range of Japanese, Welsh, Swedish and Belgian
Single Malts have been personally selected by owner Michael Foggarty. Mulligan’s
also stocks each and every craft beer brewed in Ireland it’s one of the only bars in
Dublin that doesn’t serve the ‘black stuff’. See you again soon Michael.

Dublin trip
Christmas week 2014
Paul’s Christmas sojourn to Ireland. DIARY/BLOG
Taking the flight on the 21st December, I flew into Dublin. Flying always annoys me,
seems to be time wasted, especially in the check in process! Then upon arrival at
Dublin, something like a 9 mile hike just to get out of the airport! Thank goodness I
can browse duty free on the way back, might see someone I know, or pick up a nice
bottle.
Dublin, day 1; arrived knackered, it was a long day, checked into my hotel on the
river and chilled a wee bit. Then took a stroll to the Confession Box pub, I always do
this, so I can honestly tell my Priest back home in Perth, I went to Confession. The
pub is small to say the least,. the staff are Dubs giving a local feel. The Guinness
is great though I stayed with whiskey - doctors orders! The location is tougher than
tourist streets and means there are more Guards (Gardí ) patrolling - so long as they
leave me alone eh!
The following days can become a blur, talkin of pubs; I know I called in for a few
drams at McDaids Pub on Harry Street - it was once the City Morgue, later converted
into a chapel for the Moravian Brethren, hence the Gothic style windows. It was only
just open when I arrived, so just the three of us in (or should I say the tree of us?),
settled down with a Powers and took in the scenery. There is also a room and bar upstairs, but in my humble view, no as good as street level. Traditional wood panelling
everywhere, lots of old whiskey images, to be sure, not a grand collection of whiskies
behind the bar, but enough for a session and no get bored! Friendly staff too. The
Hairy Lemon: the Craic is fine and the music is fine. An old type of bar with nooks and
crannies, aye, tried most of em! Sorry, too touristy fer me. Bowe’s: NOW WE ARE
TALKIN. on the East side of Fleet Street. The staff are friendly, the Guinness is con-
sistently the best in the city (yes, better than it is at the brewery), they have a range of
craft beers on tap, lovely toasted sandwiches (tried one to be sure) and a selection of

over 100 whiskeys from around the world - really, what more do you want? I partook!
The Palace Bar: This place is grand - it tends to get really crowded, which makes
it difficult to get a seat - so, let’s stand!. They have a wide range of Irish beers and

as arranged, a seat booked for me. To be sure I was expecting a whiskey tasting or
something. At 6.20 I was thinkin I was in the wrong place! No tasting, no nothing, all
it was, a reserved seat (in a bar!!!). I chatted to Ron behind the bar, the only sense I
got while in there, we chatted about our favourite whiskies and I sampled one or four
(approx. 50 behind the bar). A wee bit strange, my whiskey came in a square tumbler
glass, with water at the side, in a Glencairn glass! Got a bit fed up of the loud music (not live by the way) and left. I knew where I was,

The pub that launched the career of the “Dubliners”. Can get crowded especially
when live music is on. ASK FOR A CHEESE BUTTY! I moved on to Toners, by this
time, everywhere was busy, drammed once and left.
I also know I dropped in more than once to O’ Neill’s, traditional Victorian decor,
complete with snugs and cosy corners. O’ Neills’ choice of whiskey is extensive and
is available on two floors, downstairs in both the main bar and the smaller Victorian
bar as well as the dedicated Whiskey corner upstairs. Great food, great staff who
recognize you - nice that - and also do a great breakfast. The Church Café, Bar, Restaurant, St. Mary’s Church, Dublin is a former Church of Ireland building on the cor-

planning and anticipation, the Irish Whiskey Museum is welcoming guests to Dublin’s
newest tourist attraction! Near Trinity College, the museum is the only Irish whiskey
museum in the world. Converting an idle building fallen into disrepair in the heart of
the city centre, it’s an independent project conceived by director Keith McDonnell
who showed me around. The hope is to not only educate the public on Irish whiskey’s
history, but to promote an understanding and appreciation for something that is, unmistakably, Irish. Grand stuff. Remembering the Easter Uprising Top of O’Connel St past Parnel Sq; The Commemoration Garden is dedicated to the memory of “all those who gave their lives in
the cause of Irish Freedom.” The Garden was opened in 1966 by President Eamon
de Valera, on the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Easter Rising of 1916. The Gardens feature the work of Irish sculptor Oisin Kelly (1915-1981). “The Children of Lir” appear

transfiguration here is taken to be a symbolic representation of the rebirth of Irish

and development issues.
I asked one old fella “can you tell me the way to the castle please?”, he replied
“where are you comin from?” The whole time in Ireland I never had a Scotch! Amazing but true. My hotel was good, the barman I chatted to was really friendly and help-

Spey distillery interview
Paul and Liz of mcleanscotland/angels whisky club paid a visit recently to Spey Distillery near Kingussie, at the start of the River Spey.
After a tour of the distillery with manager Sandy, and many drams (Liz did as Paul
was driving) we enjoyed ourselves so much, we went on to chat to John Harvey McDonough whilst he was in Taiwan. This is the interview and some photos.
Hello John, thank you for your time, I know you are a busy man and a lot of time
spent abroad. After my whisky tasting evening with Paul Dempsey and a visit to the
distillery with Sandy, I can now honestly say, I am a big fan of Speyside distillery! The
brand was more or less previously unobtainable here in Scotland - so I am pleased
now there is a presence. I know I have caught you at a busy period whilst in Taiwan
with Michael Owen, apologies.
Q; In Taiwan and China, is it just the Michael Owen bottles you are marketing, or the
whole range?
A - It is the whole range .. we have been marketing SPEY as a brand for almost 20
years in Taiwan and almost 5 in China but of course we are very excited about the
prospects of the SPEY-Michael Owen partnership for Greater China and indeed the
whole of Asia.
Q; The expressions - The Golden Choice (40.6% abv) and The Michael Owen Lim-
ited Edition (46% abv). Will these be available in Scotland?
A - Yes they will but on a very limited allocation-basis only in 2015.
Q; Michael is obviously an excellent name/brand in that area of the world - as he is the
world over, has he been a good ambassador so far for whisky? And what of the future?
A - He has been a superb brand ambassador for our SPEY brand both professionally
and personally and we have been able to meet with his whole family which allows us
to understand why Michael is so popular and well respected around the world. The
future looks very bright based on our first very successful 6 months co-operation.

Q; It will be a long term investment, are you confident the whisky industry will grow in
that time – especially in your market?
A - Yes indeed it is however we believe it is the right decision for us. We have the

future.

The Balvenie Rare Craft
The Balvenie Rare Craft Event in NYC’s Chelsea Market ran from 17 November
2014 through 22 November 2014, and gave place not only to rare and unique hand-
made pieces from artisans from all over the United States, but it also allowed ticket
holders to sample Balvenie whiskys while admiring the crafts. The collection curator
was Indy racer Dario Franchitti, and the event itself was hosted by Balvenie Brand
Ambassador David Laird, from Glasgow. My husband John and I attended on the
final day, 22 November, and wanted to share some highlights with the other angels!
In all there were twenty-one crafts showcased, ranging from cars to clothing, but
by far our favorite was a set of intricately decorated bagpipes made from Balvenie
whisky barrels! These pipes were crafted by Roderick “Roddy” MacLellan, a Scot
who emigrated to the U.S. in 1980 and who now lives in North Carolina. Some other
favorites were: an Indy Car Parts Table by Julian R. Halpern of Steelhead Studio, a

shuffleboard table by Todd McClure of McClure Tables, a guitar by Scott Baxendale
of Baxendale Guitars, and a Sea Board (surfboard) by Mike Lavecchia of Grain Surfboards. The heart of the exhibit was a Morgan +8 Roadster, hand-assembled and
crafted with extensive Balvenie branding. Wish we were allowed to sit in it!
While browsing, guests could sample Balvenie 12 Year Doublewood and 14 Year
Caribbean Cask, but we were lucky enough to get into the Master Tasting later in the
day. David Laird hosted and it was a rare treat. We sampled the 12 and 17 Year Dou-
blewood, the 14 Year Caribbean Cask, 12 Year Single Barrel, and 21 Year Portwood!
Lucky us, we got to take home Rare Craft branded Glencairn glasses and a Balvenie
branded water dropper!
An amazing day, but your angels weren’t done yet. David invited us to the VIP after
party, where we sampled more of the Balvenie range; the details are a little fuzzy
at this point! A heartfelt welcome from David and live music started off the night,
and NYC’s famous Meatball Shop catered the party. Unfortunately, we had to leave
before the 25 Year Single Barrel was opened; we had to catch the last train home.
Maybe next year!

Glasgow distillery
Paul and Liz of mcleanscotland/angels whisky club paid a pre planned visit to the
Glasgow Distillery during January. Meeting up with Liam and a privileged show round
of the operation, where they met the team, tried a few samples, saw the equipment
and asked the questions. Made all the more difficult after a whole day and night with
the Irish Tourist Board, we did struggle to make breakfast!
Q; Jarmo Halmeenkari from Finland asked us to pose the question; Where can we
get this?
A; precious batch of aged single malt Speyside casks has been acquired by Glasgow Distillery and is to be launched under the brand name Prometheus. Where has
Glasgow Distillery kept hidden this 26 year old? Chatting to Liam (Liam Hughes
CEO) it will be delivered in a nice presentation box - still being designed - a very nice
tall bottle shape with a cork/glass stopper. It will be presented in Hamburgh at the
start of February and sadly, for us, also available in Scotland soon at around £300.
Liz and Paul were lucky enough to sample this and very lucky to be given the chance
to get their hands on a bottle once out there!
It WAS a really good dram, we both agreed (for once!). The coveted liquid was left
to quietly sleep for nearly three decades until it was awoken after a chance meet-
ing between Liam and the original owners. During the summer of 2014, a plan was
hatched to finally release this unique and special whisky.

in the drink, lots of ice with keel each other company and keep each other iced for
longer, amazing. Club membership starts at only £670 excluding VAT and UK duty,
whoopee!
When asked,”what is annual output?” Liam answered; around 200,000 70cl bottles
per year. They will mash 5 times per week and will run the whisky still and the gin
still simultaneously.
The gin is available now, each day they “play around” making up cocktails, trying new
ideas with this gin; Makar™

When will the first whisky dribble out? The first week of February. But you can buy

We both agreed (Liz and Paul), everyone working here is super friendly, they know
what they are doing and, more to the point, enjoy what they are doing! So much so,

stay and help receive still equipment, then set it up, a task in itself they said! Now

St Andrews distillery
Paul Miller; Hi Paul and Liz, I thought it was 12.30? Sorry Paul we were delayed
(by an hour!!! Liz says it was Paul’s fault, usual story), anyhow it was fine. A quick
show round was called for, it had been a good few months since I was there (Paul)
so high time to see the updated story. Things have been happening, not quite fin-
ished but it is a lot bigger/better than last time. During our tour with Paul (M) - this is
getting confusing here with two Pauls, so Paul Mc will become Sean for this story.
During our tour with Paul, there was a group in taking a tour with Kevan (manager)
and a lot of beers were set up for the tasting, gin too (Shona set these up). Paul
talked us through new developments and things to come, eventually getting to the
office for a sit down and a taste - love gin! Aye, a new gin, pink, aimed at Valentines
day I think, but very different. And so to some questions;
Sean; Casks; can anyone buy one? Paul; yes they can, anyone can be a private
owner of their own cask, what happens, they come along, make the spirit with us and
fill their own cask, standard casks are Octave French/USA oak @ 50 litres, approx.
80 bottles. They can finish how they wish and the cask will mature a few miles from
the Old Course in St Andrews. Sean, anyone wanting details email me at paul@

Special new make releases; The team have distilled and will be distilling using 3
very different malted barley types to create 3 unique single malt spirits on 3 very im-
portant Scottish dates. Each of these batches of 396 bottles will be released under
the headings of the Eden.Mill St Andrews Day Single Malt Spirit using pale malt,
Hogmanay Single Malt Spirit using pale malt and chocolate malt, Robert Burns Day
Single Malt Spirit using pale malt, crystal malt and brown malt. Each release of just
320 - 346 bottles will guarantee the purchaser the opportunity to by the same malt
as a 1 year old, and as a 2 year old, and ultimately when it first becomes single malt
scotch Whisky as a 3 years and 1 day old. With bottles released at just £35 per 50cl
bottle at 50 abv strength in unique numbered ceramic bottles, we imagine the first
and second releases will be sold out very quickly. 55

Friday 1 May - arrive in Perth, a 3pm check in to The Mercure Hotel, a 3 star city
centre hotel just minutes’ walk from the whisky festival location. This evening we
meet for a meal, then decant to Paul’s local pub; Christies to chat with locals and
have a couple of complimentary drams of whisky. Overnight Perth.
Saturday 2 May - a full cooked Scottish breakfast then time to explore the city
before the whisky festival, normally starting at noon. Based on last year’s whisky
festival, many drams will be available via tokens which are included, more can be
purchased during the day. Maybe try our pubs & restaurants this evening, no shortage of choice for more drams.
Being Paul’s home city, I guess he knows it pretty
well and can guide you around the best pubs. Overnight Perth.
Sunday 3 May - after breakfast we head to Edradour Distillery in the Victorian
town of Pitlochry for a tour and taste of four drams. Est 1825, it is renowned for
being one of the smallest and most picturesque distilleries in Scotland. The distillery
started life named Glenforres, changing to Edradour circa 1835, then briefly chang-
ing to Glenforres-Glenlivet in the 1920s. Andrew Symington’s Signatory Company
purchased Edradour in 2002, with excellent bottles of whisky to purchase, from their
vast cask stocks. Time for an early lunch in Pitlochry at the Old Mill (or elsewhere),
before heading to Aberfeldy for the Dewar’s Connoisseur Tour - enjoy a short video
before exploring the heritage centre, distillery tour, cask tasting in the warehouse and
a choice of four drams to taste in a complimentary glass.

Torabhaig distillery
Another day, and another Scotch distillery project appears. No doubt funding will
come from an issue of founders’ bonds or future cask sales, and a diverse group of
private investors, while early income will be predicated on sales of gin and new-make
spirit. You get the picture.
So we look at the case of Mossburn Distillers Ltd. with a slightly seen-it-all-before
eye. We chat with chief executive Neil Mathieson, who outlines two distillery projects,
one on the Isle of Skye and another near Jedburgh, in the Scottish Borders. Talk
turns to likely expenditure; and Mathieson mentions that the Borders plans involve
spending between £35 and £40 million ($60 to $68 million), and that no external
funding will be required.
Did he say £35 to £40 million? More or less what it cost Diageo to build its largest and
most state-of-the-art distillery to date at Roseisle? Yes, he did.
Clearly we need to know more about the man and his plans. Mathieson was born in
Scotland into a family with over 100 years of involvement with Scotch whisky. Moving
to London, he trained as a chef, also getting involved in law, accountancy, and hotel
management. He then opened a restaurant with his chef wife.
For the past 30 years he has been running Eaux de Vie, which he set up in 1984,
growing it into the UK’s leading independent importer of spirits. Eaux de Vie now
in the hands of Marussia Beverages BV, which ultimately belongs to the privately
owned Swedish investment company Haydn Holding AB. Marussia operates vineyards in Europe and a brandy distillery in Eastern Europe, while additionally working
with Caribbean rum producers.
Neil Mathieson points out that, “We started looking at having our own involvement in
whisky distilling in Scotland five years ago, so we’re not jumping on a bandwagon.”
In order to further these distilling ambitions, Mossburn Distillers Ltd. has been set up
to create and operate the two new distilleries.

Torabhaig distillery vervolg
“At Torabhaig on the southeast coast of Skye, more than £5 million ($8 million) will
be spent building a new malt distillery in a listed farm steading,” notes Mathieson.
“The aim is to produce half a million liters of spirit, using traditional pot stills made
for us by Forsyths. The restoration of the buildings has commenced and the first
distillates will be produced in 2016. We expect that the flavor profile will be confirmed over the next year as we work on the still shape and height, malt sourcing,
and wood program.”
By coincidence, distilling guru and former Diageo production director Alan Rutherford
already had an existing interest in both the Jedburgh and Skye distillery projects.
He was involved with the Torabhaig distillery venture before Mossburn came along,
when all permissions were in place ready for work to commence. At an earlier stage
Rutherford had identified the Jedburgh site as an ideal location for whisky-making
in the Borders. Joining forces with the Mossburn team as technical director, it was
decided that both ventures should go ahead.
“At Mossburn, our aim is to produce up to 2.5 million liters of malt and grain spirit per

to gaining planning permission, although work has begun on the other buildings at
the site we own, based around the former Jedforest Hotel. We hope to start on the
production buildings next year with distillation commencing in 2017. As with Torabhaig, we have yet to confirm the flavor profiles for production.
“It’s going to be a unique, statement building, which will incorporate a malt plant, a
grain plant and a ‘hybrid’ plant; three distilleries under one roof, in effect. Ultimately,
there will also be maturation facilities, a bottling hall and 1,000 square meters of hos-
pitality space. We aim to have the largest whisky shop in Scotland and conference
space for a spirits academy. If all goes to plan, we are talking about a 2015 build,
while in 2016 the equipment will be put in place, and during 2017 the distillery and
visitor center will open.”

Given that both distillery ventures are being “internally” funded by a clearly cash-
rich enterprise, there are fewer pressures to obtain short-term returns for Mossburn
Distillers Ltd than in the case of other fledgling whisky distillers. “We are working on

distillery enterprises,” explains Mathieson.
“There will be no founders’ casks or sales of new-make spirit. We will market single
malt, single grain, and blends, and the aim will be to build brands and create international sales prospects. The first limited release bottlings will probably be of five year
old whisky before a standard ten or twelve is chosen. This will depend on the flavor
profile the team decides on, and the development over the first five years.”
Some observers of the Scotch whisky scene foresee problems when all of the emer-
gent ‘craft’ distilling operations begin fighting for their slice of the market. After all,
each is likely to be offering consumers pretty much the same product, namely three
of four year old, ‘limited edition’ bottlings from a predictable variety of casks, all with
price tags of $120 and upward.
It appears that Mossburn is in the position to avoid such a situation, but what does
Mathieson suggest for others embarking on their whisky-making dream? “I would
advise them to concentrate on the costs of grain, wood, and cask storage over their
aging plan, rather than the initial outlay on distilling equipment, and not to consider
unrealistic retail prices or expect them to continue increasing,” he says. “Also, forget

initial expected financial requirement, doubled it, and then doubled it again, we would
all be securely funded for the future!”
