Distilling a work of art

I was delighted to read the article about the Edradour Distillery (Christmas 2015). My husband and I visited it in 2008. We drove into Pitlochry then up through the woods to Edradour. As we came out of the woods, the view of the white-painted distillery was simply beautiful. We had a fascinating tour with a wonderful tasting session at the end of the day. The visit was made even more enjoyable by the exuberant tour manager of the time, the slightly strange smells and the happy-looking workers. We enjoyed the explanations of how it all comes together and finding out just how knowledgeable and skilful the stillman needs to be. It made us realise what a work of art it is to produce such a wonderful single malt.
