nederlandse pipe bands vieren 

jubileum 

Drie jubilerende doedelzakbands in concert 

tijdens Schotse Avond 

er zijn dit jaar nogal wat nederlandse doedelzakband die een jubileum vieren. 

de pipe bands uit leewarden, wijk bij duurstede, hilversum, Borculo 

en groningen vieren allemaal feest. The clan macBeth pipe Band uit groningen 

viert zaterdagavond 3 november haar 25 jarige jubileum met een 

groot concert. gasten zijn onder andere de 50 jarige Beatrix pipe Band uit 

hilversum en de 15 jarige highland valley pipes and drums uit Borculo. 

Belangstelling voor pipe bands gestegen 

Nederland kent, anno 2012, heel wat Schotse pipe bands. Het exacte aantal is niet 

geheel bekend. Bij de Nederlandse Organisatie van Doedelzakbands (NOvDB) zijn 

er zo’n 28 aangesloten maar in werkelijkheid zijn het er meer. Met de name kleine 

groepen zijn niet bij de koepelorganisatie NOvDB aangesloten. Het aantal bands 

is de afgelopen jaren gestegen. Zo zijn er in de kop van Noord-Holland, in het midden 

en het het Oosten van ons land diverse bands bij gekomen. Vaak zijn dit afscheidingen 

van al langer bestaande pipe bands. Over het algemeen kan men wel 

zeggen dat de belangstelling voor het bespelen van de doedelzak, of great highland 

bagpipe zoals het instrument officieel heet, gestegen is de laatste tijd. Alleen het 

aantal Schotse drummers blijft achter bij deze ontwikkeling. Diverse bands zitten 

te springen om nieuwe leden die Schots drummen willen leren spelen. 

Een aantal van de Nederlandse pipe bands viert dit jaar een jubileum. Allemaal 

bands die de afgelopen jaren hun stempel hebben gedrukt op de ontwikkeling en 

promotie van de Schotse cultuur in Nederland. Bands die te zien en horen waren,

The Clan MacBeth Pipe Band Drum Major Kees Westerkamp

en dit nog steeds zijn, tijdens bijvoorbeeld taptoes, parades, highland games en 

nationale evenementen. Een aantal van deze bands is ook actief in het nationale 

en internationale competitiecircuit. 

Band staan stil bij hun jubileum 

The Graham Lowlanders Pipes and Drums uit Leeuwarden vierde hun 40 jarig jubileum 

met een reünie en een parade door de stad. In Wijk bij Duurstede vierde 

The Saint Anthony Pipe Band haar 35 jarige verjaardag met een Schotse Dag. De 

op een na oudste vereniging van ons land is The Beatrix Pipe Band uit Hilversum 

die 50 jaar bestaat. De band was in haar rijke geschiedenis veelvuldig op televisie 

te zien met bekende popsterren, zoals LUV en Rod Steward, en in diverse tv-programma’s. 

Beatrix Pipe Band organiseerde een bandweekend voor haar leden en 

is 3 november te zien en horen tijdens een groot jubileum concert in Groningen. 

The Highland Valley Pipes and Drums uit Borculo bestaat 15 jaar, maar is te druk 

bezig met haar grote Schotse muziekshow om echt stil te staan bij een jubileum. 

Haar showprogramma, de Musikschau Schottland, trekt al enkele jaren volle zalen 

in Duitsland. Voor het seizoen 2012/2013 staan onder andere de steden Saarbrücken, 

Trier, Erfurt, Frankfurt am Main, Flensburg en Krefeld op de agenda. Op 23 

maart staat deze enorme show, met een cast van 200 pipers, drummers, zangeressen, 

danseressen en andere muzikanten in Apeldoorn. Een must voor iedere 

liefhebbers van Schotse muziek. 

drie jubilerende doedelzakbands in concert tijdens Schotse avond 

The Clan MacBeth Pipe Band uit Groningen bestaat 25 jaar en heeft het jubileum 

aangegrepen om flink uit te pakken. De band organiseerde begin juli al een receptie 

voor leden, oudleden en relaties. En in augustus was de band een week in Schotland 

voor optredens in Bridge of Allan en Glencoe en deelname aan de competitie 

in Perth. De drummers van de Groningse band behaalden daar een 4e plaats. Het 

jubileumjaar wordt afgesloten met een groot concert op zaterdag 3 november tijdens 

de traditionele Schotse Avond.

Schotland is een land van vier seizoenen en we 

zien al weer uit naar de prachtige warme kleuren 

van de herfst en het uitzonderlijk mooie sneeuwlandschap 

tijdens de winter. We nodigen u van 

harte uit om ook eens in het late najaars- of het 

winterseizoen naar Schotland te komen. De dagen 

zijn weliswaar korter dan in de zomer, maar nog steeds lang genoeg voor 

frisse wandelingen of mooie auto-tochten in de directe of wijdere omgeving van 

ons B&B, dat in de verte uitzicht biedt op Loch Ness en omringende heuvels. Als 

er sneeuw ligt kunt u zelfs van ons uit een dagje gaan skiën in Fort William - een 

uur rijden vanuit Drumnadrochit! 

De kortere dagen zijn ook ideaal om uw verblijf bij ons te combineren met een 

Schots Kookarrangement: vanaf 15.30 uur bent u welkom om in onze keuken 

mee te helpen met en instructie te krijgen over het bereiden van typisch Schotse 

maaltijden, waar u rond 18.00 uur uiteraard ook uitgebreid van kunt genieten. 

Zelf zalm of kaas roken in onze eigen rokerij is ook een optie en u kunt rekenen 

op een paar overheerlijke toetjesrecepten en niet te vergeten het recept voor 

Millionaire’s Shortbread - dit is zo lekker dat het inmiddels wereldwijd de ronde 

doet! 

Voor uitgebreide informatie over dit alles en meer verwijzen we 

u graag naar onze website www.lochnessguesthouse.co.uk.

drumnadrochit 

Loch Ness is the largest and best known of the lochs in the Great Glen that along 

with the connecting canals make it possible to travel by boat from coast to coast in 

the Scottish Highlands. Loch Ness stretches from 5 miles outside of Inverness in a 

south westerly direction alongside the A82 Inverness to Fort William road starting 

at Lochend passing close by Drumnadrochit where the river Enrick flows out of 

Glen Urquhart into Loch Ness and washes round Castle Urquhart on its way to 

Fort Augustus at its southernmost end. 

The Area around Loch Ness includes the larger villages of Drumnadrochit and Fort 

Augustus, and the glens, Glen Urquhart and Glen Moriston as well as the the Great 

Glen which reaches across Scotland from Fort William in the west to Inverness 

in the east and to the east of Loch Ness there is Dores, Foyers and many small 

communities. In this district there is a wealth of things to do with excellent accommodation 

for the Holidaymaker. Activities range from riding stables, cruise 

boats, fishing trips, cycling, visitors centres, looking for the Loch Ness Monster 

“Nessie” with a choice of lodgings ranging from B&B’s (for instance Knowl B&B, 

lochnessguesthouse.co.uk) to Guest Houses and Hotels offering Bed and Breakfast 

lodgings to Tea Rooms, Restaurants, And hotels serve Meals as well as having accommodation 

and often there is highland entertainment in the evenings, all this 

amongst magnificent scenery making it the perfect place for a vacation.

scottish sayings 

This is where you can have a look at some of our fine old Scottish sayings that go 

back not only to grandma’s day, but for generations beyond. 

Most of them are not used anymore, and maybe that’s just as well as they can even 

confuse some Scots, depending which part of the country you are from of course. 

The Scottish dialect is so much varied from The Highlands to South Ayrshire, and 

from the East Coast to the West Coast. You see, people in different parts of Scotland 

can use different words that can mean the same thing. 

Old Scottish SayingsHonestly, some of these sayings will have you scratching your 

head, as I did, but I will translate the meanings, as I understand them. Like they say 

“a nod’s as guid as a wink tae a blind horse”, meaning, explain yourself properly, 

and make your meaning clear. If you understand phrases like that, you’re halfway 

there! Most Scots use slang occasionally and think nothing of it. It’s only when you 

read some you can see how funny it is. 

Here I take a look at a mixture of some of the old Scottish sayings. 

The old ones... 

- I’ll gie ye a skelpit lug! - I’ll give you a slap on the ear. 

- Whit’s fur ye’ll no go by ye! - What’s meant to happen will happen. 

- Skinny Malinky Longlegs! - A tall thin person. 

- Lang may yer lum reek! - May you live long and stay well. 

- Speak o’ the Devil! - Usually said when you have been talking about someone - 

they usually appear. 

- Black as the Earl of Hell’s Waistcoat! - Pitch black. 

- Failing means yer playin! - When you fail at something at least you’re trying. 

- Mony a mickle maks a muckle! - Saving a small amount soon builds up to a large 

amount.


scottish sayings vervolg 

- Keep the heid! - Stay calm, don’t get upset. 

- We’re a’ Jock Tamson’s bairns! - We’re all God’s children, nobody is better than 

anybody else - we’re all equal. 

- Dinnae teach yer Granny tae suck eggs! - Don’t try to teach someone something 

they already know. 

- Dinnae marry fur money! - Don’t marry for money - you can borrow it cheaper. 

- Is the cat deid? - Has the cat died? Means your trousers are a bit short - like a flag 

flying at half mast. 

- Haud yer wheesht! - Be quiet. 

- Noo jist haud on! - Now just hold it, slow down, take your time. 

- Hell slap it intae ye! - Means it’s your own fault. 

- I’m fair puckled! - I’m short of breath. 

- Do yer dinger. - Loudly express disapproval. 

- Gie it laldy. - Do something with gusto. 

- Ah dinnae ken. - I don’t know. 

- It’s a dreich day! - Said in reference to the weather, when it’s cold, damp and 

miserable. 

Some Scottish sayings that are not so old... 

- Gonnae no’ dae that! - Don’t do that. 

- Pure dead brilliant - Exceptionally good. 

- Yer bum’s oot the windae - You’re talking rubbish. 

- Am pure done in - I’m feeling very tired. 

- Am a pure nick - I don’t look very presentable. 

- Ah umnae - I am not. 

- Ma heid’s mince - My head’s a bit mixed up. 

- Yer oot yer face! - You’re very drunk. 

- Yer aff yer heid - You’re off your head - a little bit daft.

hadrian's & antonine wall 

wilden de romeinen ooit Schotland veroveren? 

Waarom legden de Romeinen de Muur van Hadrianus aan en namen ze Schotland 

niet in? historianet.nl 

De Romeinen hielden lang delen van Schotland bezet. Rond 80 n.Chr. drongen 

troepen onder gouverneur Gnaeus Agricola het land binnen dat de Romeinen Caledonia 

noemden. Zuidelijke stammen werden onderworpen en het leger rukte op 

langs de oostkust. Een vloot zou om de Britse Eilanden gevaren zijn. 

Maar Agricola werd naar Rome teruggeroepen voor heel Caledonia bezet was, en 

het leger trok zich geleidelijk terug. Historici vermoeden dat de Romeinen het 

barre, onvruchtbare land niet de moeite waard vonden. 

In 122 n.Chr. begon de bouw van de Muur van Hadrianus, maar deze diende 

slechts kort als grens. Al 20 jaar later verschoof de grens naar de Muur van Antoninus 

in het noorden. 

Pas rond 164 lieten de Romeinen Caledonia geheel schieten - waarschijnlijk omdat 

ze hun troepen elders nodig hadden. Hierna was de Muur van Hadrianus weer de 

grens, tot de Romeinen rond 410 Engeland verlieten.

friar’S omelette 

This sweet omelette was first published by a Lady Forbes around 1910. 

In addition to being made with apples, you can use rhubarb, plums (with stones 

removed) or blackberry instead. 

The quantities make sufficient for four servings. 

ingredients 

6 medium cooking apples 

4 ounces (125g or one stick) butter plus butter for greasing a baking dish 

2 ounces (50g or 4 tablespoons) white sugar 

1 ounce (25g or rounded tablespoon) white sugar for decoration 

2 eggs, well beaten 

4 ounces (125g or 1 cup) breadcrumbs 

A squeeze of lemon juice 

method: 

Remove the peel and core from the apples, slice and place in a saucepan with about 

quarter pint (150ml) water. Cook until soft (similar to apple sauce). Remove from 

the heat and add 4 ounces (125g or one stick) butter, sugar and lemon juice and 

mix well. When cold, add the well-beaten eggs. 

Butter a deep baking dish and spread the breadcrumbs around it so that they stick 

to the bottom and the sides - but keep back enough for the top. 

Add the apple and egg mixture into the dish and cover the top thickly with breadcrumbs. 

Bake in a moderate oven (350ºF/180ºC/Gas Mark 4) for about half an hour. 

Turn out onto a flat dish and sprinkle with sugar before serving.

helenSBurgh toffee 

There are many different varieties of 

toffee, tablet and fudge catering for the 

sweet tooth of many Scots. This “toffee” 

named after Helensburgh (a town 

overlooking the lower reaches of the river 

Clyde) has the consistency of thick 

fudge, rather than chewy toffee. 

ingredients 

2 ounces (50g or half stick) unsalted (sweet) butter 

1 pound (450g or two cups) caster (superfine) sugar 

Two teaspoons (10ml) golden syrup (light corn syrup) 

7 fluid ounces (200ml or small can) condensed milk 

4 tablespoons (60ml) milk 

Half teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla essence (extract) 

method: 

Melt the butter in a heavy-based saucepan, then add the sugar, syrup, condensed 

milk and milk. Heat very gently until all the ingredients have dissolved. Then bring 

to the boil, stirring constantly. Continue to heat, stirring gently until the mixture 

has reached 115ºC/240ºF on a sugar thermometer (or until a teaspoonful of the 

mixture forms a soft ball when dropped into cold water). 

Remove from the heat and add the vanilla essence. Beat well until thick and 

creamy. Pour into shallow greased tins (pans) and mark into squares with a knife. 

Leave to cool and set. Cut into pieces and store in an airtight container.

kilkerran 

Brand new diStillery - Same old family 

Officially opened on 25 th March 2004 by Dr Winnifred Ewing MP, and Mr Hedley 

Wright, Chairman of J & A Mtchell and Co Ltd, the Mitchell’s Glengyle Distillery 

is the first distillery to open in Campbeltown in over 125 years, and the first new 

distillery in Scotland this millennium. 

The first 6 casks of Kilkerran Single malt filled at the distillery had previously held 

Bourbon, Oloroso Sherry, Fino Sherry, Port, Rum and Madeira. 

On 21 st May 2009 at an open day held at the distillery, the global launch of Kilkerran 

‘Work in Progress” Single Malt took place. This first release of 12,000 bottles 

will be part of the “Work in Progress” series and will allow you to follow Kilkerran 

Single Malt as it matures from 5 years old towards it full release age of 12 year old. 

The whisky produced at the Mitchell’s Glengyle Distillery is called Kilkerran Single 

Malt. 

Why Kilkerran? Well, for two reasons. Firstly, because the name Glengyle is already 

used for a Vatted Highland malt and Mitchell’s Glengyle Ltd. were not able 

to buy the rights to use the name. They also wished to avoid any possible confusion 

between the newest Single Malt to come from the Campbeltown region and a preexisting 

vatted Highland malt. Secondly, and more importantly, Mitchell’s Glengyle 

Ltd. are very proud to be continuing and adding to the great Campbeltown 

Distilling tradition and the choice of name reflects that. Kilkerran is derived from 

the Gaelic ‘Ceann Loch Cille Chiarain’ which is the name of the original settlement 

where Saint Kerran had his religious cell and where Campbeltown now stands. Kilkerran 

is thought to be a suitable name for a new Campbeltown Malt since it was 

unusual for the old Campbeltown distilleries to be called after a Glen, a custom 

more usually associated with the Speyside region.

Kilkerran Work In Progress 4 


kilkerran vervolg 

work in progress 4 

This 2012 release is the 4 th bottling of the series and is limited to 9,000 bottles. 

Although this whisky is only 8 years old and is described as “Work Work in progress” 

the tasting notes make it sound like they may be almost there.... 

colour: Hay & straw. 

nose: Home made marmalade. Incredibly rich with copious amounts of oranges, 

rhubard and ripe pear amongst the sweetness of brown sugar and honey. 

palate: The Tangy and zesty nose continues on to the palate and is enriched with 

flavours of toffee, fudge and cream buns stuffed with vanilla custard and coated 

with icing sugar. Finger licking good. 

finish: Sweet and spicy, with hints of aniseed and liquorice.

The Six Isles - Island Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 

‘A TRUE reflection OF THE ISLES’ (Ian Macleod Distillers - ianmacleod.com) 

“One of the most important new whiskies to have come onto the market for a very 

long time.This is Island whisky to the max!” - Jim Murray, Malt Advocate 2003. 

6 full-bodied Single Malts in every bottle: One from each of the 6 whisky producing 

islands of Scotland; Islay, Jura, Skye, Mull, Orkney and Arran. 

From Islay in the west to Orkney in the north, every distinctive style and flavour 

has been brought together in this unique Island Blended Malt. 

From the peaty and smoky malt from Islay to the soft, heathery, honey and iodine 

notes of the Orcadian malt make The Six Isles a sensory voyage through the malt 

whiskies of the islands of Scotland. 

“Wow! Fresh, alluring, sensuously smoked with an underlying intense barley charisma... 

beautifully oily and lush; long, increasingly spicy: a glorious array of vanilla 

and barley” - Jim Murray, Whisky Bible 2004. 

Bottled in the traditional way, at natural colour and unchill-filtered. 

Distinctive embossed gift tin adds value and greater shelf presence.

whiskywoordenlijst 

zowel op flessen whisky als bij verhalen over distilleerderijen of het productieproces 

van whisky staan soms woorden of termen vermeld waarvan 

niet altijd duidelijk is wat ze betekenen. onderstaand een lijst met ver 

voorkomende “whiskywoorden”: 

age 

The age on a label is the age of the youngest whisky in the bottle. Whisky is aged 

by storing in oak wood. By law, Scotch whisky must be aged at least three years. 

angel’s Share 

This is the amount of whisky that evaporates from the casks while in storage (duty 

is paid on the amount of whisky stored when it is intially warehoused so the angel’s 

share has effectively already had the tax paid on it). It usually amounts to about 

2 percent annually and is also referred to as ullage. (The angels are reputed to be 

very happy in Scotland.) 

Barley 

The grain germinated to produce malt, the raw material from which whisky is produced.

whiskywoorden vervolg 

Barrel 

A small cask that contains about 40 gallons or 180 litres. 

Blended malt 

Mixture of 2 or more single malt whiskys. 

Blended whisky 

A whisky made from a mixture of grain and malt whiskys. Better blends contain higher 

amounts of malt whisky. Blended whiskys are made to appeal to a wider range 

of tastes and are usually less expensive than single malts. Most blended whiskys 

contain anywhere between 15 to 40 single malts at levels of 15 to 60 percent volume. 

Blenders are the highest paid position in Scotland’s whisky industry. 

Blending 

The process of mixing together of whiskys. If they are all single malts the resulting 

product is a blended malt. If grain whiskys are added the resulting product is a 

blended whisky. 

Butt 

Largest sized cask generally in use at distilleries. Contains 108 gallons or 491 litres.

caramel 

Used to color most blended whiskys (grain whisky is clear) and sometimes also 

used in commercial single malts. 

cask Strength 

New whisky is filled into casks at about 64 percent alcohol by volume. This also 

refers to whiskys that have been bottled straight of the casks without dilution. 

Given the evaporation known as the angel’s share, the resulting strength of cask 

strength bottlings drops as the whisky ages. 

chill-filtration 

Filtration of the whisky at a low temperature to remove clouding which occurs 

when unfiltered whiskys get too cold. Chill filtering also removes other constituents 

that change the character of the whisky. Nearly all blended whiskys are chill 

filtered since they are generally served over ice. 

cling 

The trails left on the inside surface of the glass when it is swirled around. This is 

caused by fusel oils it the malt and is usually used to determine the amount of 

maltinblendedwhiskys. You’ll sometimes see folks doing this with single malts, 

but they always produce excellent cling since fusel oils are quite high in most single 

malts. Also known as “legs”. 

condenser 

A system of copper pipes used to cool the vapors from the still to produce distillate. 

cooperage 

Workshop where casks are made and maintained by coopers. 

culm 

The dried rootlets still attached to the malt grains after kilning. 

cutting 

The practice of diluting cask strength whisky with water to reduce it to a lower 

strength for bottling. Most whiskys are diluted to 80 proof before bottling. 

dark grains 

Cattle food produced by combining the distillery by-products of draff and pot ale.

draff 

Waste material left in the mash tun after draining off the extraction waters. Primarily 

malt husks. 

feints 

Feints are the third fraction of the distillation process from the spirit still. These 

are returned to the spirit still for redistillation in the next batch fed to the spirit 

still. 

first fill 

This refers to casks which are being filled with whisky for the first time, even though 

they may have been previously used for Bourbon or Sherry 

foreshots 

This is the first fraction produced by the spirit still. The first distillate that comes 

off the spirit still is pure, raw alcohol, which slowly drops in proof as the pot still 

run continues. The stillman watches the proof as it drops and determines when 

to begin collecting the potable spirits, or “heart of the run”. The foreshots are returned 

to the spirit still for use in the next distillation run The foreshots are not 

collected because they contain all the extremely volatile components which are 

toxic and sometimes poisonous. (ask me about bootleggers...) 

fusil oil 

One of the heavier alcohols contained in the feints, some of which are kept along 

with the heart or middle cut to add character to the whisky. 

grain whisky 

Whisky made primarily from cereals, usually wheat. Distillation usually occurs in 

a patent or coffey still (continuous still used to produce the bulk of alcohol in the 

world today. (as an aside, malt whisky is made in a batch process.) 

grist 

The fine powder which results from milling malted barley. Grist is passed into the 

Mash Tun to be mashed with hot water.

heart 

The heart is the second fraction of the distillation process from the spirit still and 

produce the final potable spirits that is then stored in casks and aged for varying 

lengths of time. 

hogshead 

Most common size of casks used in distilleries (about 55 gallons or 250 litres). 

Kiln 

A huge, building-sized oven used to dry the malted barley after it’s sprouted to fix 

the sugar in the grain. 

lees 

Also known as spent lees - this is the material left in the spirit still and is usually 

run to waste. 

low wines 

These are the product of the first distillation that is then run into the spirit still 

for further distillation. Low wines are usually about 25 percent alcohol by volume. 

lyne arm 

The vapor delivery pipe that connects the top of the still to the condenser. 

malting 

Barley that has been allowed to germinate, and then dried in the kiln to fix the 

sugers in the barley. 

malt whisky 

Whisky distilled from a fermented solution derived entirely from malted barley. 

mashing 

The process of soaking the grist in hot water to dissolve all the fermentable sugars 

from the malted barley. 

mash-tun 

A large circular tank where the malted barley is mashed with hot water in order to 

dissolve the soluble sugars.

ceiver. It contains equipment for measuring the specific gravity and is locked so no 

whisky can be taken from the process without taxation 

Spirit Still 

The low wines from the wash still are redistilled in the spirit still (the second still 

used in the process) which is similar in appearance to the wash still but generally 

smaller because the amount of liquid to be handled at this stage is less than that 

fed to the wash still. Three different fractions are produced and handled differently 

from the spirit still - the foreshots, the potable spirit and the feints. The foreshots 

and feints are returned to the spirit still and redistilled with the next charge from 

the wash still. The residue in the spirit still is referred to as the lees and is run to 

waste (usually for cattle feed). The potable spirit is collected from about 80 percent 

to 55 percent to produce a whisky for maturing of about 68 percent. 

wash 

The wort technically becomes wash when yeast is added to it to start fermentation. 

Generally though, was refers to the liquid that is drawn off at the end of 

fermentation. The wash is then added to the wash still for the first distillation. The 

wash contains yeast, crude alcohol, unfermentable matter and the by-products of 

fermentation. The wash is generally about 6 - 7 percent alcohol. 

wash Still 

The still that receives the wash from the fermenting process for the first distillation. 

The spirit is boiled off, run through water-cooled condensers and the liquid 

from the stills is collected is referred to as the Low Wines which is collected for redistilling 

in the spirit still. Low wines come off the still at about 25 percent alcohol. 

The wash stills are critical for determining the flavor and character of the whisky. 

The liquid left in the wash still at the end of the process is known as pot ale – which 

is also run to waste. 

whisky vs whiskey 

Whisky is the traditional spelling of distilled spirit produced in Scotland while 

whiskey has traditionally referred to Irish spirit and most other distilled spirits 

across the world.

Big Peat 



worm 

The worm is contained in a surrounding bath of cold running water to form the 

condensers used traditionally. The worm is actually a copper coil of decreasing diameter 

that is attached to the arm leading from the head of the pot still. The vapors 

from the pot still condense to form the distillate collected from both the wash and 

spirit stills. Worm condensers have been replaced at most distilleries by modern 

tubular condensers (Edradour still uses a worm condenser cooled by river water – 

this distillery must close whenever river flows decrease and the river temperatures 

increase.) 

wort 

The liquid drawn off the mash-tun where the malted barley has been mashed in 

warm water. This liquid contains the sugars from the cereal and a range of secondary 

components. It is cooled and then passed to the fermentation vessels.

whisky quotes 

No married man is genuinely happy if he has to drink worse whisky than he used 

to drink when he was single. 

H. L. Mencken 

My own experience has been that the tools I need for my trade are paper, tobacco, 

food, and a little whisky. 

William Faulkner 

You know these love letters mix with whisky, just don’t light a match when you 

kiss me. 

Jon Bon Jovi 

Between his eyes, there were four lines, the marks of such misery as children 

should never feel. He spoke with that wonderful whisky voice that so many Spanish 

children have, and he was a tough and entire little boy. 

Martha Gellhorn 

A glass of whisky in Scotland in the thirties cost less than a cup of tea. 

Catherine Helen Spence 

I just did an interview where I was asked whether I drink beer or whisky, and I was 

sad to reveal that I’m pounding spring water. 

Brad Delson 

I like my whisky old and my women young. 

Errol Flynn 

We’d boil this whisky because we thought that would make it stronger. So we thought 

we were getting drunk, but in fact there’d be no alcohol left in it.
