Posted @withrepost • @broaratlantic these guys are doing amazing things and raising money with their #whiskyforwater campaign! follow the link in their bio to watch the full video for ‘the great whisky pillage’. @lostclock created the incredible footage 🎥
On the same page as the video you will find a link for registering interest in the unique and limited edition Maclean’s Pillage blend that is being produced from the whisky that was donated for the #whiskyforwater campaign. This blend will be sold by @royalmilewhiskies in early 2020. All proceeds from these sales are going towards funding clean water boreholes in Madagascar, provided by @feedbackmadagascar .
.
distilleries that donated:
@arranwhisky @glenscotiamalts @springbank1828 @kilchomanwhisky @caoliladistillery @bowmore @lagavulinwhisky @laphroaig @ardbeg @bruichladdich @bunnahabhain @jurawhisky @obanwhisky @tobermorydistillery @ardnamurchandistillery @talisker
.
@ardnamurchandistillery helped with the storing, blending and bottling of the whisky, Coates Consultants created the label design, and @royalmilewhiskies organised sales and distribution.

Port Ellen looking lovely and sunny for this year's Fèis Ìle! The festival officially starts today and it promises to be another great week full of songs, history, culture, good food, and lots of whisky 🥃 With every distillery on the island opening its doors again - including the recently-opened Ardnahoe distillery - we can't wait to see what the week brings and we wish our guests who will be attending the festival a lovely time!
