The Scottish Whisky distillers Morrison Bowmore have embraced the digital age by posting a documentary on youtube. The 14 min film describes the processes involved in making the famous dram at Islay's Bowmore distillery. You can view the videos here:
I'm on dialup. It would take me 8 or 10 hours to download it. So, I'll have to pass, damnit!
Slainte!
Hi Nick,
Pity your on the DU as it's pretty interesting stuff Interviews with all the production staff on Islay as well as lovely shots of the island.
Slainte!
Maybe I'll start the UL when I go to sleep tonight! Thanks, Ewan.
Slainte!
Thanks for the link! Awesome video. Gets into the whisky-making process pretty deeply: wetting, sprouting, turning, drying, peat-smoking, grinding, mashing, fermenting, distilling, maturing. Didn't really touch on double distilling, or low-wine vs. new-spirt; perhaps they figured that would be getting too technical. But a good overview.
Also, I loved the local flavor of the piece, the ambience of the island, the personalities of the people, and the fact that you don't have to lock your doors at night. A whole different world. I should like to visit the place some day.
