Instagram post 2188705951393315441_7662248 Happy St Andrew's Day!๐ŸŽ‰ To celebrate Scotland's national day, this year is all about acts of kindness and so we've been looking at the Scotch whisky industry through the years and picked out a few kind acts! #OneKindAct
.
๐Ÿฅƒ Jura - Many years ago a writerโ€™s retreat was established by the distillery following its fame as the home of George Orwell whilst he wrote one of his most well-known novels, 1984. The story of the Scottish islandโ€™s visitor has sparked great interest over the years, which has lead the whisky brand offering up their lodge to writers as a retreat!
.
๐Ÿฅƒ Cardhu - In the 1800s, Scotland was rife with illicit distilling due to huge taxation laws. Run by John and Helen Cummings, Cardhu, a farm distillery, was located on a hill. This means that Helen could see the customs officers approaching and would throw flour over herself, pretending she was baking bread to disguise the smell. She would then offer them tea, whilst sneakily flying a flag outside so that other nearby distilleries could see and take action quickly!
.
๐Ÿฅƒ Glenmorangie - In partnership with Heriot-Watt University and the Marine Conservation Society, Glenmorangie are currently focussing on a groundbreaking initiative. The Deep Dornoch Environmental; Enhancement Project (DEEP) will see the restoration of Native European oysters to the Dornoch Firth. It is planned to be home to 4M native oysters by 2025 following their extinction in the 1880s - we look forward to welcoming the oysters back!

"Today's rain is tomorrow's whisky." Even though I'm not the biggest whisky fan in the world, I loved taking the tour at The Scotch Whisky Experience in Edinburgh. We learned about the production and history of the drink, as well as interesting facts about the different whisky producing regions of Scotland, and finished off with a dram. We even got to bring home our glasses! I highly recommend this tour to anybody visiting the city. An hour well spent. ( #๐Ÿ“ท @starr_date )

"Today's rain is tomorrow's whisky." Even though I'm not the biggest whisky fan in the world, I loved taking the tour at The Scotch Whisky Experience in Edinburgh. We learned about the production and history of the drink, as well as interesting facts about the different whisky producing regions of Scotland, and finished off with a dram. We even got to bring home our glasses! I highly recommend this tour to anybody visiting the city. An hour well spent. ( #๐Ÿ“ท @starr_date )
