With a lot of exploring so far in 2011 I thought it would be a good idea to start writing up some of the adventures from earlier in the year. A roadtrip that saw British summertime in, was a 2000 mile round journey to Scotland with Lost, RichardB and V70 as guides.
Despite being the last site on the 5 day roadtrip, I have decided to publish Imperial Distillery first as it was a really varied, challenging, interesting and unique place to explore.
Imperial Distillery was established in 1897 and was last used in 1998 when it was mothballed. It is a vast site, and thanks to Lost knowing his way around, we saw a lot of the older buildings and equipment as well as the main still room. Unfortunately the site has suffered a large spate of copper theft, destroying the stills and forcing the owners to take new security measures!
To celebrate this explore, Lost laid his hands on a small bottle of whisky from the distillery in a local off-license.
