This past weekend I was fortunate enough to take a visit to the wonderful Auchentoshen distillery just north of Glasgow. A few pictures for you whisky fans out there.

Auchentoshen one of my all time favourite malts, I really must try to stop there one time, but I just might never leave.

Thanks for those pictures, how I wish we had scratch and sniff computer screens:lol::lol:

Significantly offtopic, but as someone who spent his formative years in the area, Auchentoshen has similar resonance as Craig Donain does in Caithness.
