SCOTCH WHISKY

I spend the morning buying presents for friends back home, arid in the afternoon I visit a distillery where Scotch whisky is made. Scotland is not the only country to produce whisky, but it produces the most famous and the only whisky with the right to be called "Scotch".

I visit the Edradour distillery* the smallest *in Scot­land. My guide, a Scots woman wearing a kilt - the traditio­nal tartan "skirt" worn by both women and men-explains that the production processes have remained unchanged for centu­ries. She tells me how barley is brought in from the fields, soaked in water and dried. The barley - now called malt -is then heated and mixed with yeast and water. The water is very significant: it comes from streams which have flowed through peatrich earth, and each distillery has its own in­dividual stream. The mixture ferments, just like beer* and then it is distilled.

The spirit results from this process is colourless. It is- stored in oak barrels imported from Spain which have pre­viously been used for holding sherry. It is the remains of the sherry in the wood which give the whisky its distinctive golden-brown colour. The spirit stays in the barrel for at least three years. Only then can it be called whisky, and only then can it be bottled and sold, though many whiskies are kept in the barrel for five, 10 or even 20 years. Whisky  bottled at the distillery is called single malt, while the product of mixing whiskies from several distilleries is known as blended whisky.

After a fascinating afternoon I return to Pitlochry for  my last night and my last dinner, in Scotland.
