Heading Back to Abhainn Dearg

Postby Mark C » 13 Oct 2011, 08:43

I'm driving up to Ullapool today to get the ferry to Lewis for the launch of the 3yo Abhainn Dearg tomorrow. Looking forward to returning to the distillery to celebrate reaching this milestone. Words and pictures after the weekend :D

No Mod for me. Ferry and drive back on Saturday instead.

Got a wee mention in The Herald:

The whisky was really good for its age. Purely from bourbon casks unlike most of the other stuff I'd tried until now it was a lot more delicate. I had to try it at least four or five times to make sure...
