Good work :)

Are you only considering working distilleries? (Imperial isn't working btw)

PS: Craigellachie seems to be missing!

I don't know what Willie's original criteria were, but Imperial is relatively easy to find, so I would say we are not confined to working distilleries (we'd never taste Rosebank :-o )

Where does Craigellachie fit in this set of groupings? (Have to get my map out...)

Looking at a map, I'd assume that Craigellachie would fit in the Aberlour and Northwards group as it's only a couple of miles away from both Aberlour and Macallan.
