As a kid my step dad always drank scotch. When we’d have family functions and my uncles, cousins, grandpas; whoever they would always drink scotch. So today when we went to the distillery I was shocked out how much I didn’t know about scotch. For insistence whiskey is only considered a scotch if it is made in Scotland. Also to drink a malt whiskey with ice is wrong and only destroys it. Once I started hearing these facts I realized I didn’t even know how whiskey was made. When we toured the distillery I noticed that everything to make whiskey is super sized. The stills were giant at least 12 feet tall and made of copper. Barrels were about 20 feet around and 4 feet high, all this giant equipment was used for something that ends up being so small in the end.
After interviewing the head of the visitor’s center and trying the whiskey I couldn’t wait to get my step dad a bottle. I honestly hope hes proud that I could pick him out a good bottle and learn about something he finds fascinating.
