@DavidMacM31 @TholstrupJens Except, Scotch whisky law makes that impossible as far as single malts go. They are tied to the site of production. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but Diageo is only closing the visitor centre and has owned a distillery at Brora since 1925.

@TholstrupJens Buy up high quality brands. Close the distilleries and mass produce it at one facility with 10 other brands. Diageo sacrificing quality for profit.

This is sad. One of the first distilleries I visited… as a 16 year old loon. Diageo to close visitor centre at its Clynelish Distillery at Brora northern-times.co.uk/news/diageo-to…

Final Thoughts – Much like a distiller and his shooglebox, this dram can’t help but bring a smile to anyone’s face. The best Summer Batch release we’ve tried so far (and we’ve tried them all) it brings a fresh, zesty brightness to what is emerging as the classic tropical fruit…
