The making of a Scotch Whisky starts with a single malt barley.
The production steps are drying, grinding into a powder, adding Scotland’s unique soft water, fermentation, distillation, maturation and finally, bottling depending on the number of years you want it to age. Whisky is aged for a minimum of three years before it’s bottled.
This is where they cook it, copper pot stills.
The Scotch Whisky experience silver tour package lets you taste one kind of whisky. The gold package gives you all five kinds.
Our Scotch whisky experience tour guide
Tourists are given a whisky glass each to place on the kind of whisky we want to taste. There are minors who are also in the tour, they are given apple juice instead or some kind of non-alcoholic drink.
I chose the Speyside because of the spa-like smell.
I was also given a glass. I don’t drink alcohol kaya paamoy-amoy lang. Pretending to drink.
The original collection of this Scotch Whisky bottles was once owned by a rich businessman from San Paolo, Brazil. It was bought by the company that currently operates this whole facility offering whisky tasting, sales, sampling. They keep adding to this collection but they only collect Scottish made liquor.
The highland cattle is different from our cow, Harry. The Scottish cow is fluffy. They have longer horns and curly coats, their natural cover for winter.
