In which I confirm I don't like whisky.

We are in Norfolk for a few days staying with Mum.
When we were visiting last time we came across the St George's Distilleryin Roudham so this morning we popped over there with a view to buying some Christmas presents.
We found a beautiful building with a very interesting shop, and were just in
time for a tour.

It was very interesting to learn about the processes and the history of this very new distillery. It only started in 2006 and began to sell whisky in 2009.
We were shown the stills

And the various processes the 'wash' goes through.

The effect of different barrels was demonstrated, and the bottling procedure.
Then we had a tasting of various whiskies, with and without water.
Alan enjoyed them all but it wasn't till we tasted blackberry liqueur and cream liqueur that I began to appreciate them.
My favourite was the sherry and whisky mix, made with the sherry within the barrels that they import to use for the whisky.
Several Christmas presents have been sorted plus a tipple for the cook!
