The Wee Dram
« on: April 04, 2018, 06:17:05 »
There seem to be a few aficionados of single malt scotch whisky here. In the Peak District of England lies the town of Bakewell. It is an old market town and a popular stop for people exploring the area. Perhaps you have heard of the Bakewell Tart? Among the shops in the old part of town is a tiny one called The Wee Dram. As you can see, it has quite the selection. Not to mention a few open bottles for sampling.

Ian,
Very nice environmental portrait.
Interesting to see that so many brands of paint thinner are available in English shops.

Fons, a mystery malt! Any thoughts as to which distillery produces it?

Robert, thank you. I had not thought of it as an environmental portrait. Surely there is too much environment?

The word around mentions Caol Ila, Ian.
