Sunday 22 October 2006--A lot of walking today, up to the mile and down to the parliament and back up to the Scotch Whisky
Heritage Centre, for starters. We take the tour at the SWHC. We expect it will be geared to the general public and not be
of great interest to such knowledgeable persons as ourselves, but we want to see what it is about. It's about what we
thought, a broad overview of Scotch whisky, replete with generalizations and simplifications and a strong bias toward the
virtues of blended whisky. It was worth seeing.
We walk back to the guest house, and then on to the Scotch Malt Whisky Society's facility at the Vaults in Leith.
Ron is a member, and we sit in the lounge and sample four drams. Mine are a lemony Pittyvaich, bottling 90.7; a sooty
Inverleven, 20.22; a Glenglassaugh, tasting of cherries again, 21.25; and a chalky Bladnoch, 50.24. They are all very
good, and the Pittyvaich is excellent.
We walk down to the Leith waterfront and have dinner and pints at the Old Chain Pier. Then it's back up to the Mile again, via the guest house, for pints at the Bow. I have a D Laing Clynelish as well, a lovely soft dram. We head home early, but decide to have a final pint at a pub near the guest house. Still, we are in bed at a decent hour. Tomorrow we will be off early to drop Ron at the airport in Glasgow. Next |
