The adventure begins ...

This is the departure lounge at Glasgow Airport. Not exactly heaving is it, but you should see the rest of it. This is an oasis. The gin is a present for my brother in law who has been working like nobody's business to sort our travel and accommodation for the next three weeks. I can't thank him enough and have already tried to with a bottle of rather nice whisky but this seemed to jump into my hand at duty free today. It is 'the first and only Islay Dry Gin Conceived, Distilled & Hand-Crafted at the Bruichladdich Distillery, The Rhinns, Isle of Islay. Progressive Hebridean Distillers'. The whisky that comes from Bruichladdich is wonderful so I have high hopes of The Botanist.
