      One of my favorite whiskies is Monkey Shoulder. Named for a repetitive strain injury once common among distillery workers, who turned the malt by hand, it's a mix of Speyside whiskies (originally Balvene, Glenfiddich, and Kininvie, but the mix is no longer made public).

    Love these distillery-hops. I prefer the Speysides, especially Aberlour and Balvenie. It did me a world of good to see a Japanese guy running a Scottish whisky bar and a Scotswoman speaking Japanese to him. A bright spot in otherwise troubled times.

    As a post-retirement activity I worked for a few years selling liquor here in Ontario. Controlled by the provincial government, most store have an excellent selection of blends and single-malts. With my ancestry going back to Islay, I quickly became the whiskey expert in my store, and would often recommend those peaty offerings as they were also my favourites. Your adventures on Islay and Speyside would be something I’d love to experience. I also learned a few new things. Top-notch as usual, Ruth!

    I have been enjoying your videos so much since stumbling across one a few months ago, so now I am watching your older ones, and they are so fantastic, what makes you so engaging is the atmosphere of your videos, somehow, you are able to capture the feel and atmosphere of the places you show us. I think that is a combination of shots you choose, cinematography, editing and specific places that you are excited about which is infectious. Mostly though, it is you as a presenter, so charming and fun.

    Glenfiddich was my introduction to single-malt whisky back in 1979 when I was a Yank going to the University of Reading and it's been my touchstone ever since. I've enjoyed many brands of Scotch since then (sometimes I want a smoky glass of Laphroig or Jura), but Glenfiddich is my default single malt. Thanks for this tour!

    Cracking video. I really think the distilleries are missing a trick by not making "drivers' drams" or even small bottles available. After all if you LIKE the dram you buy, you may go on to buy more.

    • @ruthaisling
      @ruthaisling  10 месяцев назад +2

      I totally agree. Especially as some whiskies which are now my favourites and I have bought more of and recommended to others are as a result of me first trying them as driver's drams - an example being the Kilchoman - Machir Bay.

      Ruth I like all of the Glenfarclas malts, however, I do really enjoy the 105, with no more than a couple of drops of water, no ice or other additives. You are certainly a remarkable lady, I am going up to Nairn for a week in November and will make a beeline for Craigellachie, what was the name of the inn owned by the Japanese man? I always try to visit a couple of distilleries on each trip, my favourite being the very compact Edradour distillery near Pitlochry. ❤️

We were able to take pictures in a warehouse, and we used a copper dipping dog to draw our own driver’s dram from a single barrel. Glenfiddich 18 remains our favorite whisky.

    Brought back amazing memories seeing the sights; from my 2018 trip to Speyside (stayed in Elgin). You live in a beautiful country! Glenfiddich is a beautiful distillery with all the flowers in summer, as is Aberlour, Glenlivet, Blavenie, Cragganmore, Macallan and Glenfarclas. Each distillery has it's individual beauty, uniqueness to it and being my favourites, they get drank often.
    Balvenie, Aberlour and Macallan all did driver packs back in 2018...
    P.S. I thought Cape Town had 4 seasons in 1 day until I visited the Highlands... no comparison!

    We did a Speyside holiday for a week in 2018. We stayed in Grantown-on-Spey. The tour at Cardhu was excellent. I was also introduced to Caorunn gin by the bartender at our hotel, The Grant Arms. It was lovely! The Strathspey steam train is worth doing, too.

    Hi Ruth, love this video of you visiting the distilleries. My parents did this a few years ago, though I haven't been yet personally. My dad considers himself a bit of a "single-malt" connoisseur" 😅 & Glenfiddich is one of his favourites. I remember seeing a bottle of 64 year old Glenfiddich for sale at Hong Kong airport many years ago... It was better protected than the Mona Lisa! Haha. I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. 😊

I'm sure Old John would have loved to join you on your whirlwind tour & have a wee dram or two right along with you. LOL.The Speyside area certainly has a lot of distilleries. It looks like there's enough whiskey in this lovely area to make another River Spey. Well, at least then, the tastings might be free! How long can you tread water? LOL. The area is so charming & very beautiful too! Just lovely! By the way, I checked out your wonderful new Website! The info & photos on there are amazing! Your profile & history is truly fascinating! You have really been around lass & indeed are a most interesting & unique young lady! But then again, we already knew that! Old John would be so proud of you as well!

    I used to go past Keith regularly when I was an HGV Driver on the way to Baxters now that's a place you should go and have a look at as they have a little shop just near the gates and you can buy soups very very cheap.
