Fascinating to watch. Thank you Periscope.

The blending house is Haig's at Markinch, Fife. The building's still there, but it's offices now. The blending happens a few miles away at Leven and Cameron Bridge nowadays, on a massive scale. All part of the Diageo empire.

My Father made wine. The wooden barrel(s) brought me in.

Glenlivet is older than me! Who knew! :D

This episode is very interesting of how Scottish whiskey is made they should have the Stooges do there dance at The end

The same can be said of Bourbon and Rum in how and where it's made.

[@janerkenbrack3373]

Yeah, but not with the same accent.

The loss of 5 million gallons a year is the Angels drink or Paddy after hours

This is Scotland, not Ireland.

[@jerryodell1168]

Please remember as we were taught years ago, Scots are our ancestors from Scotland and Scotch is what they made, sold, and drank.

[@toddburgess5056]

Do people confuse the two ? 🤔

[@jerryodell1168]

@@toddburgess5056 Indeed they do. The Scots are often called Scotch.

[@toddburgess5056]

@@jerryodell1168 "Scottish" NEVER crossed their mind? Straight to the whiskey? (Scotch)

[@thomasparisi5333]

Wonder if any bottles from this time period still exist?

[@PeriscopeFilm]

Will drink to that!

[@dksculpture]

Surely some do exist.

[@barryhamilton7845]

Yes, we see them at auctions,and I collect miniatures,and I have bottles from the 50s,60s and 70s.

Jack what now?... Daniels?... Sorry mate, never heard of him.

[@yakacm]

What a load of cobblers, lol, good for selling whisky to Sassenachs I guess?

[@danfairfw]

Almost didn't watch this with the misspelling of "whisky" in the title.

[@BrodyYYC]

I swear earlier it was whisky and they changed it but I could be wrong.

[@thomasgoodwin2648]

So why is the narration in an English and not a Scottish accent? Just sayin. ✌😉👍

[@indigohammer5732]

It is a Scottish accent. For a small country, there’s a great variety of timbres, inflections,grammar and vocabulary to be found.

[@thomasgoodwin2648]

@@indigohammer5732 True that Scotland has regional variations, but this accent sounds like it comes straight from London, not Edinburgh. (Also note there is a difference between English and British. All English are British, but not all British are English.) One would not mistake an Aussie for Londoner or a Dubliner. The lilt of a Scottish tongue is as distinct. Listen to the voice of the last guy waxing lyrical about whiskey (Pretty sure it's the actor who played Filby in 'The Time Machine'). That's a Scottish accent. The narrator's accent is not.

[@Oliverdobbins]

This film is from the 1950s I would guess. Back then, you just did not do voiceovers in a Scottish accent if you wanted the widest possible audience to have any clues what was being said. Some Scottish accents are near-incomprehensible (and I mean that in the nicest possible way) even today. I’m guessing this film was made for basically as global an audience as you could expect back then and would have been quite expensive to produce. No wonder they used a crisp “Home Counties” -type voice.

[@thomasgoodwin2648]

@@Oliverdobbins Yeah, I guess that's a fair statement. Particularly if the target was an American audience (what better place to SELL the whiskey). Certainly most 'Mericans can barely keep up with the most erudite London of accents, but just cross the street into Cockney and they just get that glazed eye look of the deer in the headlights and stare as if you had horns.

[@barryhamilton7845]

​@thomasgoodwin2648 It's Scotch whisky. Americans and Irish make Whiskey. Whis🔑
