So on the 18th we decided it was a distillery tour day (which meant I could drive! Finally!! So excited about the ability to terrify everyone collectively). Started out at the Glen Livet distillery. Very cool and I can only imagine the satisfaction of enjoying a wee dram at the actual distillery but nay, I cannot find it in me to enjoy the taste of Scotch. Or the smell. Vodka or wine for me thank you very much. Unfortunately we could take no photos so I will take the time to share the experience: smells like Granma Jean’s house when she was making moonshine. I think all she needed to finish the product to a fine drink was the wooden kegs. The boys all seemed to enjoy it. Dekker did the Jamieson tour in Ireland so he was familiar with the process.
Another thing I have decided - I think I want sheep. I told Dekker that he needs to get a job as sheep shearer so he can take care of that part. And maybe a couple chickens. I have to sit Turk and Riggs down and give then a serious talk about animal management. On second thought maybe I’ll just keep going to the grocery store and watching Planet Earth - same thing, less work.
Back to our distillery tour - we then visited McAllen Distillery. We got there too late for a tour but the boys did have tasting there. There was laughter and scotch bought so I’m assuming it was a success.
On the way home we stopped and saw some Pictish stones that were 500 A.D. and then home to homemade roast beef and more cards.
