The Cairn Distillery
While in Scotland, we had the opportunity to visit one of the country’s newest distilleries, The Cairn Distillery, owned and operated by Gordon & MacPhail.

Today, I’m not focusing on a specific whiskey, although I did purchase a bottle that I’ll be reviewing soon. Instead, I wanted to share our experience at the tasting room…
