Glenfiddich Explorers

Winter, but life goes on……

By Ian

Last tuesday, the first official working day in Scotland (we get two days off at New Year ) I witnessed the first Malt deliveries into the Distillery.

Despite the heavy snow falls, 46 centimeters, Speyside is well equipped to deal with the weather and we are kind of used to it, nice to smell the first mash of the year going in as well, Distilleries are very cold places when there`s no production going on, the christmas and new year break also gives us a chance to carry out small projects and necessary maintenance before we start our 2010 production, please spare a thought for all the tradesmen who worked through this period, they are the unspoken heroes who make things happen while we enjoy our festive break, not just at Glenfiddich but at all the Distilleries throughout Scotland.

Off to Paris tomorrow to help launch our new 40 year old then it`s the Cinderella Whisky Fair off the coast of Sweden over the coming weekend.

Slainthe!
