Whisky Galore
A recent trip to Scotland by Media Eden's team captain, Jennie, promoted the perfect excuse to arrange a distillery visit on behalf of our clients Arkwrights, generating some video content for the forthcoming new website. The Wiltshire based whisky shop boasts over 800 whiskies in stock but a trip to Oban Distillery unearthed a special Distillery Bottling that is only sold there - what a perfect excuse for a wee dram!
Distillery owners Diageo couldn't have been more accommodating and big thanks to the delighteful Frances who expressed terror at the thought of being filmed and then proved to be a pro! The Sensory & Flavour tour is illuminating and the delightful little distillery is obviously run by people with passion about their brand, much like Ken & Fran at Arkwrights themselves.
It didn't take much persuasion to try the 14 year old single malt and the distillers choice - then a nibble on crystallised ginger brought a whole new flavour to the whisky. With distinctive notes of honey, smoke orange and sea salt, it proved the perfect panacea to a rather damp day in Oban.
Had we known we'd then have to take a 60 mile detour because 'the bridge was doon' then we may have come away with more than 3 bottles.....
