While everyone else is winding down for Christmas, the lorries just keep coming to us in Creetown. We had 150 barrels unloaded from 2 lorries this morning before 8:45. Now we just have to find somewhere to store them away!

A lot of time is spent re-working casks to suit customers’ requirements. Speyside Cooperage provide us with great casks for finishing or full maturation, whether you want rum barrels, sherry hogsheads, bourbon barrels, white wine, Moscatel or ex Islay casks.

Once re-casked, the warehouse team takes the casks away and finds a home somewhere in the racks.

Claustrophobic? There are worse places to be stuck.

Just prior to the previously posted photograph, I roped Jane into recording the Tobermory casks being opened for the first time. She managed fairly well despite the face tracking on the gimbal deciding to move the camera off elsewhere at the critical point of tasting!

We’ve been talking about doing a few more videos and clips for social media, so we thought that it was time to start. Next time, I’ll use a microphone!

For those of you all over the world who haven't visited or can't visit, here is what our little corner of Scotland looks like. Our warehouses are nestled on the edge of the village of Creetown, and you couldn't wish for a nicer outlook. The video starts out looking Northeast, with Cairnsmore of Fleet the large hill/small mountain a mile or so behind us. In the opposite direction, the water to our southwest is the mouth of the River Cree, opening into Wigtown Bay, with Wigtown just on the other side.
I've just borrowed the drone and this is only my second attempt at flying it, so please forgive the occasional jerky movement.
