Stories
Whisky is a passion to explore. From the history of the spirit to the evolution of the industry, the story of whisky helps fuel that passion. Often, it’s easy to forget that whisky is also a global multibillion dollar industry. The stories of whisky — from news and new releases to in-depth inquires and what goes on behind the label — blend together to help us appreciate the spirit of whisky.
Interview: Highland Park Retiree Davie Reid
Davie Reid’s a legend on Orkney, not just for his nearly 40 years at Scapa and Highland Park distilleries, but for his work with local Scouts and other community groups. Davie worked as a mashman and warehouseman over the years, then drove Highland Park’s distillery van for a while before his eyesight forced him to retire a few years ago.
Those eyes saw a lot over the years, and during a press trip to Highland Park in April of 2013, Davie joined us for our final dinner at Helgi’s in Kirkwall. After dinner, we persuaded him to share a few stories from his days at Highland Park as well as Scapa.
Thanks, Davie!
