How is whisky doing as a Travel Retail libation?

thewhiskylady - 2016-08-17

Earlier this month, I was sitting at a table somewhere in London, judging the Drinks International‘ Travel Retail Awards 2016 – when it occured to me that this blog, despite its “traveller” approach, wasn’t much discussing the present and future challenges of whisky in the travel retail sector. Let’s try to rectify this a bit… Going through all the awards’ categories made me realise – once …

Golf is overrated… Try St Andrews’ brews & spirits at Eden Mill!

On the schedule last week, (didn’t mention it here but if you follow me on Twitter or Facebook you should have probably known I stayed a couple of days up in Aberdeen last week for some boozy adventures), beside a lazy morning in the Granite City trying to get out of bed but not really succeeding & an incredibly boring drive under the rain, was a long-overdue …

An inside look into The Glengoyne Distillery

thewhiskylady - 2016-08-11

Willing to escape Glasgow and its buzzing city life for the afternoon, we couldn’t go far more than a few miles away…  Choices that day comprised a country escape to Balloch for a picturesque pokemon-catching walk or… A malted getaway to one of Glasgow’s closest distilleries: Glengoyne (still legally classified as an Highland distillery). No need to mention what we finally went for. Glengoyne offers …

I recently paid a wee visit to the team at Douglas Laing HQ and had the pleasure/privilege to dive into some of their finest expressions while listening to the stories of their passionate ambassador Jan Beckers (pssst!

In Pictures: Visiting the Drygate Brewery – Glasgow

thewhiskylady - 2016-08-08

Sorry guys, it can’t always be about whisky around here… [if in the next couple of hours I notice a significant drop in my Twitter followers – I’ll blame myself ;)] – but as you know, the beer making process is somehow very close to the first steps of whisky production – only adding hops to the magical 3-ingredients cocktail of whisky: water-cereal-yeast aka the …
