Many distilleries have gardens, but not many gardens have distilleries.
The Glen Grant distillery is located in the city of Rothes, within the charming Scottish region of Speyside, in what is called the Garden of Splendors.
To discover The Glen Grant is to embark on a journey of flavors, singular, aromatic and evocative, defined by the captivating nature of its history.

Inspired on a photography of Glen Scotia Distillery
As far as Scotch distilleries go, the home of Glen Scotia has a story (and a single malt whisky) for everyone. The Glen Scotia scotch whisky distillery in Campbeltown is one with an illustrious past and irresistible present
The Glen Scotia distillery is one of the smallest Scotch whisky distilleries but one of the big names in Campbeltown, the former whisky capital of the world.
The historical distillery still maintains much of its original design dating from the 1830s — including the mash tun, stillroom and dunnage warehouse — so the celebrated heritage and history influence the award winning whisky produced in Glen Scotia.
The last century saw turbulent times for Campbeltown whisky distillers, yet Glen Scotia legacy endures.

Inspired on a photography of Caol Ila Distillery posted by Cara Baillie
Caol Ila is derived from the Gaelic Caol Ìle for "Sound of Islay" (literally "Strait of Islay") in reference to the location of the distillery overlooking the strait between Islay and Jura.
The distillery is situated on the north east coast of Islay with magnificent views across the Strait of Islay to the spectacular Paps of Jura.
Caol Ila is one of the lightest Islay whiskeys, pale in color, with peat, floral and spicy notes. In addition to being sold as single malt whiskey, it is widely used (around 95% of its production) in blends such as Johnnie Walker's Black Label (owned by Diageo).
This painting I made of the styles and incredible view of the distilling room is another artistic tribute to the people who make such wonderful whisky.
Sláinte!

Inspired by a photograph of Laphroaig Distillery
My admiración to those who make amazing things, Even in the most difficult scenaries.
My admiración to the whisky industry, and in this case, to Laphroaig, more than a whisky, a good friend.
I think the best way to describe this fascinating whisky is with the words of the distillery:
"A remote island. An unpredictable climate. A community that’s learned to thrive here. Every element of Islay is a dear and true friend to our whisky.
Sure, we’ve honed a nifty process over the years. But when we think about what makes Laphroaig, it comes down to a stroke of geographic serendipity and a bunch of hard grafters".
