SCOTCH THE GOLDEN DRAM Official Trailer (2019) The Scotch whisky Story
SCOTCH: THE GOLDEN DRAM is available now on DVD & Digital courtesy of Parkland Entertainment and Munro Films. SCOTCH THE GOLDEN DRAM is directed by Andrew Peat. Shot entirely on location in Scotland, Scotch: The Golden Dram tells the story of Uisge beatha, Gaelic for water of life. Scotch is enjoyed in more than 200 countries, generating over $6 billion in exports each year. For more than a century, Scotch whisky has been the premier international spirit of choice. It is time to tell the story of uisge to the world. While capturing stunning Scottish landscapes, the real heart of the film is the characters - the fascinating people who make Scotch whisky. The film explores some of the biggest names in the industry, including Richard Paterson, a master blender whose nose was insured for $2.5 million, Glasstorm, a company specialising in hand-made bottles for rare whiskies that sell for over $10,000 each, and the Cinderella tale of Jim McEwan, the distiller and master blender, a 50 year plus industry veteran who takes on a dilapidated distillery on his home island of Islay in the Inner Hebrides and turns it into an award-winning blend. McEwan acts as the film’s ambassador, guiding us to discover the process and the people, who they are, their personal histories, how they came to immerse themselves in the art and science of making whisky, their drive for perfection.
Featuring, Jim McEwan, Richard Paterson, Dr Bill Lumsden, Ian MacMillan, Charles MacLean, Lynne McEwan, Brodie Nairn, Georgie Bell, Robbie Hughes
Distilleries featured: BRUICHLADDICH (Islay), LAPHROAIG (Islay), GLENMORANGIE (Tain, Ross-shire), TOMATIN (near Inverness), LAGAVULIN (Islay), THE DALMORE (Alness), GLENGOYNE (Dumgoyne, nr Killearn)

Thanks for finding my video and pressing play!
A lot of you have been asking when I’d be publishing this video. Well, here it is! I travelled back from Prague to Birmingham on Jet2. This is a relatively new route for Jet2 as they branch out from more traditional Sun destinations to other leisure routes.
One of the things that I really appreciate when flying a new airline is when that airline lives up entirely to its marketing. I love it when an airline absolutely KNOWS, with total confidence, what its selling point is, what the reason for its existence is, and then delivers that experience to the paying customer. What I mean by that is, for example, I don’t actually know what British Airways promise any more. Are they budget? Are they a luxury carrier? Are they patriotic? I love it when you get an airline that knows what they are! Like Southwest (fun, efficient, warm), Cathay Pacific (aspirational, hospitable, luxury), or in this case Jet2 (cheesy, cheap, cheerful). Cheap and cheerful is absolutely fine with me! But you’d better make sure you are both a) cheap, and b) cheerful...
Overall this was a very good value flight, and it goes to show that flying budget can be every bit as good as flying with a legacy airline. Jet2 are a really fun airline without being excessively irritating. This was shot a few weeks before Christmas and I was surprised to hear them playing proper Christmas pop songs on boarding (Mariah Carey, Wizzard and Jona Lewie being among the artists being played). Not sure how expensive the royalties are! However I’ve had to cover the music up with some of my own so I don’t get a copyright strike.
This flight was full of people who had enjoyed a weekend in Prague, one of Europe’s top cities to have a weekend break in. There was a good atmosphere on board and the crew were excellent. Sitting at the front it was noticeable how hard they worked, as the service and upselling continued throughout the whole flight. Upselling on aircraft can be very irritating - those of you who know about Ryanair’s scratch cards or some carriers in the US rambling on about credit cards will know what I mean - but Jet2 managed to do pull this off without being too over the top.
The aircraft itself was brand new with a Boeing Sky interior - seats were excellent and mine had almost unlimited legroom (a bargain at £16!). What a pleasure to fly on such a new bird.
I was really surprised by Jet2 and I’m glad people recommended I take them, as they’re not an airline I’d normally keep on my “radar”.

The Whisky Trail - Ubac Images
The Whisky Trail
This summer, Pierre & Anthony once again took the road with their camping-car. This year they travelled to the North, to find huge mountains, tranquility and beautiful landscapes.
It took them 24 hours to reach the Isle of Skye, after taking the Eurotunnel train, driving through England and Scotland and having the usual break in Edinburgh.
They experienced any weather you can imagine, but they never forgot why they went there:
To explore through this new landscape with their shoes, and drink some typical Scotch Whisky!

Cubbo Podcast #223: Cosmic Boys (FR)
Enjoy this week's podcast with the French duo Cosmic Boys!
Cosmic Boys, newcomers in French Techno music, are still a mystery, and it is a great pleasure.
True hedonists, the two friends live and breathe techno and music, as it is central to their
everyday life between production, dj sets and label management Of Scander. In life and on stage,
sharing and communion is essential to them.
Sebastien Bevil & Gaby Meynadier have taken their unique style of music – a blend of Techno,
Minimal and Electro music - on countless scenes of European festivals and clubs. Their singles
often end up in Beatport's chart of international top 10 hits, in 2016 Cosmic Boys
become number 1 French artist and number 2 world artist Minimal. Present on
Richie Hawtin’s label (Minus) with their remix Marc Houle – Girl One ” as well as on Form, Popof’s label.
What if the answer to the Cosmic Boys mystery was this ability to focus on the essential
to give the best ? We’ll never know, but as long as they keep unleashing hell on stage or in clubs,
we don’t really care...

Bonspiel 2009 start-to-finish reveal of oil painting by Paul Taggart
Bonspiel 2009

Oils On Board
also available as a Fund-Raising Limited Edition Print
in aid of North Highland Curling Trust
Dimensions: 215mm(h) x 508mm (w)
Framed Dimensions : 475mm x 768mm
In the first year of our relocation to the Northern Highlands of Scotland and along with the rest of the UK, we were gripped by one of those Torvill & Dean moments. A 2002 Winter Olympics Gold medal won by a British team, competing in a sport rarely followed outwith those in the know. Although around for at least 500 years; the sport of curling had only returned to the Olympics four years earlier, after a break of some 70 years.
Visit the British Pathé news archive website and you will find rare black and white footage of the annual Grand Match, traditionally held on the Lake of Mentieth, going back to the early 1900s. Thousands poured onto the ice, resplendent in kilts and bonnets, to sweep the ice and throw the stones. The term curling comes from the curl of the stone as it slides across the ice.
Not since 1979 has an outdoor Grand Match taken place and although hoped-for in the ideal freezing weather of January 2010, it never came to be the issue of crowd safety and risk assessment thwarting all plans for such a happening!
As such, an outdoor Bonspiel is now becoming an even rarer sight and is precisely what we had resigned ourselves to thinking. For although a subject on the list of paintings to include in the Spirit of the Highlands collection, we had all but given up any hope of chronicling such an event that is, until in the last days of 2008, upon overhearing a chance remark from one of the local curlers at a social gathering to which we had been invited.
Which is how, a couple of days later (the first days of 2009), we found ourselves invited to witness an outdoor Bonspiel in one of the frozen fields of Morvich farm, in Sutherland. The term Bonspiel describes the gathering of clans or alliances in a tournament and mostly these are now held indoors, or on specially constructed outdoor rinks. But here we were, at an impromptu Bonspiel, where members from a number of clubs were busily clearing the snow and preparing the ice for their required sheets (the playing area). As you can imagine, we were delighted to have been asked along and this painting is the result of that days efforts.
Amongst these players, the very people who subsequently took it upon themselves to form the North Highland Curling Trust; with a view to re-establishing a curling facility north of Inverness, as the previous facility had been closed down for re-development. Initial investigations soon established that such a facility would prove invaluable, not only for the curling fraternity, but also for the wider community and in attracting visitors from around the world. How could we not lend a hand with fund-raising, when others are voluntarily putting such efforts into making this project come to fruition a project which is gathering pace and is at the next stage of development, with the appointment of architects to carry out a technical site study.
This proved a tremendously challenging prospect; what with the thirty-five figures, two dogs and all the curling paraphernalia the aim being to record the essence of an outdoor Bonspiel, not to mention the hive of on-going activity that accompanies an impromptu gathering such as this.
I needed to capture the accompanying piper, the clearing of the snow and buffing of the ice to create the sheets and crucially, the movements in the throwing of a stone, or the bent of the figures leaning on their brushes all too easily this could have resulted in a static view and not the lively occasion of such a gathering.
Unusually, the answer was a symmetrical arrangement of figures. Those on the left are predominantly busy preparing the area, whilst those on the right are getting on with the games. These figures sweep upwards and outwards so that I could lead the viewer through the middle to the distant brazier, keeping the soup warm for the end of play.
The sun, coming in from the right, provides a golden reflection down into the ice, interrupting the symmetry of the composition. It silhouettes the hills on the right, which are cast into wonderful blue shadows; whilst those on the left are bathed in its glorious amber glow. Cool converging shadows break the white starkness of the snow, allowing sunlit patches to sparkle in brilliant contrast.
