An "Own Bottling" day.

At certain distilleries you have the opportunity to bottle your own whisky from a selected single cask.  Invariably it is whisky not available outside of the distillery so if it is to your taste it is a wonderful opportunity to obtain something not normally available and very personal.

Today was our second and third opportunity to do this.  The first was at Glendronach at the beginning of the week and today we were at Abelour and Glen Fiddich doing the same thing.  I think we'll be paying duty when we come home.  We have been lucky in that the three expressions suite our taste admirably.  We filled our own bottle direct from the cask, fill in your own labels and do the Excise documentation in a more personalized manner.

On our way back.....the ubiquitous gatekeeper...........another one!!
