Apparently Duich is another name for Tamdhu Distillery, to be used by independent bottlers. I didn’t know that until recently, and it’s another one to be added to the dictionary, next to things like Burnside, Westport, and certainly others that … Continue reading

Finn Thomson, not to be confused with the ThomPson brothers, but also a bottler of Scotch whisky. In sort-of fancy hexagonal bottles (or was is an octagon?). Anyway, the bottle came in a tube similarly ‘gonal’, which made the tube … Continue reading
