Tired Boots

Glass Breaks & Other Lessons

The final installment will be the Scotch blogs about the 15 distilleries we visited and the other 6 we saw and here at long last they are! It was a tough slug at times as I wanted as much information in these posts as possible so that we would remember the details.  I broke into into three sections: Islay, Speyside and others. The final one was a lone English distillery that we happened upon. It sort of made up for the mishap at the last Scottish Distillery.
