A new Glenfiddich [...]
Snowing at Glenfiddich

It`s the 5th of January and snowing heavily in Dufftown the capital of Malt Whisky. Now this will make it difficult for Distillers as they rely on their employees to make the extra effort to get through the snow and into work, the organisation responsible for keeping the roads open are doing a really good job but they are fighting a losing battle today as the snow has been constant all day , Malt Delivery vehicles have been trying to get the precious Malted barley into the various Distilleries in this famous Distilling area.
Of course we rely on the snow and the rain to provide our underground reseviours and springs with sufficient water to make whisky all year and at the moment it`s the only ingredient we get for free.
The picture below is of our visitor centre door taken during a light lull in the weather, I`m heading out of here at lunchtime before we all get snowed in, will have a wee dram when and if I get home, slainthe!
