One of three active distilleries in Campbeltown, Glengyle assembled a lot of equipment from other closed distilleries across Scotland.
With the daunting task of getting Glengyle up and running again, Mr. McHardy has done very well since the early 2000s.
The stills (one mash and one spirit) were supplied by Ben Wyvis Distillery, tweaked to get the particular taste profile of Kilkerran Single Malt, which has a soft character with floral and delicately fruity notes.

Highland Park has four stills, two wash stills and two spirit stills, and a robust copper and brass alcohol safe.
In the great whiskeys they make you can explore the depth, character and complex balance of their ancient viking soul found in his spirit.

The very special peat that sprouts near the distillery, dense and rich in heather, burns slowly and with amazing intensity, creating a complex floral aroma in the ovens.
That gives rise to the intensely balanced, smoky sweetness of Highland Park whiskeys.

Almost a year ago, a very kind person contacted me, sending me her very nice and personal photos of various distilleries, to inspire me.
Now it's time to start painting them, thanks a lot Brian, they really inspired me.

Highland Park Distillery is located in Kirkwall, it began distilling in 1798, in the same place that its founder, Magnus Eunson, established his original illegal still in High Park.
It is almost on the Arctic Circle, closer to Oslo than to London, where the North Sea rises to reach the Atlantic Ocean.
