Hi Andy

Thank you!
At least you know that your whiskey as been down those pipes at some point in its life. There is no other production line...

WOW what a mechanism of pipes, tubes etc, and I see the distiller also! actually Peter this is a colorful maze of this operation! well seen and photographed. How did it all taste? :)))

best wishes, Sarah

Hi Sarah

Thank you so much for your visit! I am very happy you have enjoyed sharing the visit. These are just like the moonshine stills that I imagine your hillbillies keep in their garages, only a bit bigger. The whiskey goes through a number of distillation vessels, which you can see here on the right..
At the end of the tour we got a free sample.. with the option of buying as much as we wanted!

Best Wishes,
Peter

An excellent shot Peter. We have been to a few distilleries in Scotland and taken tours. Very good but the best part for me was the tasting at the end!! Have a good Sunday

Hi Carol

I am very happy that you like it! Thank you so much!! I have visited a couple of the Scottish distilleries too, and yes had the free samples! This is a little bigger than any of the Scottish ones I saw, and the air inside is hot, damp, and funnily enough, smells of whiskey!

Best Wishes, and a good week ahead.
Peter

I'll share a wee dram with you ~~~ Cheers

Hi Jaap

Thank you so much! I am very happy that you like it, as it was very quickly taken while nobody was looking!

Best Wishes, and a good week!

By far my Fav is Irish not Scottish and Bushmills rates very high. never had the chance to visit any thing like this i can imagin the smell of the place as well. i will enjoy it all the more now as i have seen it in the making. many thanks for that.

Hi Steve,

Thank you for visiting, and you are most welcome to share a glass or two! As I said to Andy, this is the one and only distillation room. Your Bushmills has traveled down that pipe after being boiled off in those copper stills. The process is repeated a few times, each still producing a more refined mixture, before it goes to the next..
You are right about the smell too!!!

Best wishes
Peter

Hi Peter,

Well now, this looks very interesting! Isn't it amazing how it all works! I love Jaap's new word, dizzling....that about sums it up :-)

Best wishes, Rosa.

Hi Rosa,

Thank you so much, and I am glad you found it interesting. Perhaps a little more sophisticated than school chemistry lessons, but same idea.. I too like Jaaps new word...Let us use it all over ipernity, and maybe it will be part of the language in years to come!

Best Wishes
Peter
