Paid my first visit to Abu Dhabi after so many trips to Dubai. Visited The Great Mosque there in the blazing sunshine, probably should have timed that better. Very impressive building however. taken in Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque by @slaings

A few random shots from around Almaty. A pleasant, quite European and old fashioned feel to the city. Tree and cafe lined.
1+2 - Ascension Cathedral
3 - Green Bazaar marketplace
5-7 - The 11 station metro (with stations the same size as London for probably 10% of the passengers)

Very easy place to spend a few days. taken in Almaty, Kazakhstan by @slaings

Visiting Andorra 🇦🇩 I took the opportunity to visit our customer @cavabenitoand and meet owner Jordi. It’s a beautiful spirits specialist store, with a lot of interesting and distinctive bottlings on the shelves. Exactly the right kind of place to find bottles of @ardnahoedistillery and @hunterlaingwhisky #Andorra #islaywhisky taken in Andorra La Vella, Andorra by @slaings

I paid a quick trip down to Mexico last week to visit the historic city of Queretaro. I had one nice day of walking around the historic centre, but then I was struck by my own personal volcano 🌋 which kept me in my room for most of the rest of the trip. Eventually I called Amex travel insurance to see a doctor, and had one at my door 90 minutes later. The medicine he prescribed has me on the mend, but I’ll avoid ice in drinks in Mexico in the future. taken in Querétaro City Center by @slaings

Pleased to present our newest release - The Chairman’s Selection. Created to the specifications of my dad Stewart, this is our peatiest Ardnahoe release to date.

6 years old and at a natural cask strength of 60.2%, and matured predominantly in first fill sherry casks, this is the boldest expression of the @ardnahoedistillery character so far.
