Speyburn Distillery (28 Oct 2001)
Rothesの町から少し北に行った緑美しい谷間に建っているSpeyburn蒸留所。
蒸留所が建てられた1897年はヴィクトリア女王在位60年の記念すべき年。12月になっても完成していない蒸留所を無理矢理使って12月15日にようやく1樽のウィスキーを造った。職人達はちょうどその時にRothesの谷を襲った雪嵐の寒さを凌ぐために厚着をして作業をしていた。
蒸留所の設計は有名なCharles Chree Doig。モルトキルンにその特徴が表れている。
Speyburn Distillery lies North of Rothes, on the beautiful green Glen of Rothes.
The distillery was build in 1897, when the Queen Victoria marked the 60th year of her reign, Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.
Unfortunately, distillery had not finished to build by December, but staffs had distilled just 1 cask of whisky by 15 Dec using uncompleted distillery.
All of staffs had to wore heavy winter clothing because of cold wave which hit the Glen of Rothes.
Speyburn Distillery was designed by Charles Chree Doig, malt kiln is really beautiful shape.

Speyburn Distillery (31 Oct 2001)
Rothesの北側にある谷にひっそりと木々に隠れるようにして建つSpeyburn蒸留所は1897年創業のどちらかといえば小規模な蒸留所。しかし風景との調和は素晴らしく、印象に残る蒸留所の1つ。
CraigellachieからElginへ行くバスへ乗り、Rothesを過ぎると右側に蒸留所が見えた。車内から撮った写真でまともに写ったのは今まででこれだけ。私にとっては貴重な1枚となっている。
Speyburn Distillery lies North of Rothes, in the Glen of Rothes. It is surrounded by forest. It was established in 1897, not large-scale distillery with 1 wash still and 1 spirit still. However, the view of distillery is very beautiful, one of the best scenery distilleries in Scotland.
I took the bus from Craigellachie to Elgin. When the bus passed Rothes I saw Speyburn Distillery on my right. I often try to take photographs on a vehicle, but the photos are not good. This is precious one for me.
