Gone to See Europe. Semester at Sea Spring 2013 Enrichment Voyage on the MV Explorer. Ultimate Travel Photography Workshop IV with Michael Mariant. Day 24: Glasgow, Scotland.
During a Field Trip, we visited and did a tasting at the Glengoyne Distillery in Scotland. If you need to ask, that bottle cost more than the Semester at Sea voyage. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V2 camera and 6.7-13 mm VR lens (ISO 800, 13 mm, f/5.6, 1/50 sec).

Fun picutre! Give me 10 yrs and me and that bottle will have something in common 🙂
Unfortunately, we didn't get to taste from the 40 year old bottle in the display case. The samples we tasted were being distilled around the time you visited. It was fun walking through the distillery and comparing it to the old building 50 Pilot Plants in Rahway.
The oldest we tasted was, IIRC, 26 and we came away with a 17 (I think, it is gone now) and a 21 (still have some of it). That old plant is not missed 🙂

Ahhh, you have found one of our favourites! We visited there in 1999 and sampled many, although nothing quite as old as the 40. 🙂
