THE MALTING FLOOR. Working backward from my bottling, cask rolling, & kilning posts because why not? After steeping (soaking in water) to trick it into germinating, the barley is spread then grubbed (raked) several times a day as it warms & sprouts to keep its new shoots & roots from matting. At Springbank, the whole process is still done 100% on site by hand. Highland Park, Bowmore, Laphroaig, Kilchoman, the BenRiach, and the Balvenie also malt some of their own barley on site. It’s backbreaking work — at least for someone usually writing 🧐. The repetitive strain injury one can develop working the malting floor is called “monkey shoulder.” Think shoveling snow all day, every day. Even at Springbank, these days the maltmen & women rotate through other production jobs. But it’s still hard work. #theacademydrinksinscotland #theacademydrinksatspringbank #whatimdoingwiththatphilosophyphd #whiskygeek #whiskytrivia #floormalting #whiskylove #instawhisky #singlemalt #scotchwhisky #whiskyporn #distilleryporn #whiskylife #whiskylife #singlemaltscotch #scotchwhisky #whisk(e)y (at Springbank Distillers)

With the enormous NYC Governor’s Ball coming up, thought I’d share amazing band I was fortunate enough to hear recently on street in Glasgow. Swipe to hear 8 sec of them. (If you’re like me & can’t have sound clips on 1st page of your feed, I got you.) Of course they have a single malt Scotch: a heavily peated expression “Tu-Bardh” (after the band founder) from the small, traditional Edradour Distillery. #theacademydrinksinscotland #clanadonia #glasgow #glasgowmusic #pipemusic #whiskygeek #whiskylove #instawhisky #singlemalt #scotchwhisky #whiskyporn #distilleryporn #whiskylife #singlemaltscotch #scotchwhisky #whisk(e)y #theacademydrinks #pipeband #govball #smallestdistillery #sherriedwhisky (at Buchanan Street)
