ウィテカーズ ウィスキー ウォーク
冬の夜の肘掛け椅子の散歩
それは車線に沿って続く
目に見えるほど鮮明な記憶の中で、
春がまたやってきました。
新しい緑と鮮やかな紺碧の衝突
輝くニッドの上。
金色に羽ばたくカワセミ
トラウトが隠れている矢。
谷は夏の子羊のように日光浴をする
苔むした壁に文句を言う。
夕暮れ時、ヤマシギがループし、
夜が明けると、コウモリが飛び交います。
もう一口、目を閉じて
秋の琥珀色を探す
万華鏡と空想
暗くて寒い外に出るには、
険しい林道を見上げる
ブリムハムのグリットストーン ダンシング ベア
大きな岩が隠れている場所を夢見て立っている、
あの岩彫りのうさぎの向かい
保持しているガラスを横切るのは誰ですか
思い出の瞬間のまろやかな蒸留 –
味と視覚と音が包み込む
私は今 - そして転がる
口と心。

Blood sweat and tears
We take great care to ensure all the ingredients which go to create our whisky, are carefully selected. The water is from the spring on our farm and the barley is grown at the end of the river Nidd on another family farm, Poplars Farm, Ferrensby owned by Andrew and Ione Cumming (née Whittaker). This year, the barley is Diablo and is currently being malted and milled at Thomas Fawcett & Sons in Castleford, West Yorkshire. Our casks are predominantly ex-Bourbon, ex-Sherry and ex-Rum, so look out for three different expressions. We can’t help but try different things, so we have some wonderful surprises up our sleeve, but that is for the future – think Vintage Port…
Nidderdale is no stranger to brewing and the heritage of malting barley. Did you know that Nidderdale means ‘Valley of sparkling water’? This is due to the multitude of springs that exist in the Valley of the River Nidd. Indeed our own spring ultimately ends up in the river by Summerbridge. The Dale has a strong history of brewing and historic records show where malt kilns operated centuries ago. One recorded at Thornthwaite and one at Braisty Woods. There were breweries at Pateley Bridge, so really we are just bringing back to Nidderdale what should have been here in the first place. Scotland has developed a wonderful industry with Scotch Whisky and now it is time for Yorkshire to show what it can do.
The climate in this part of the world is temperate, so, not only is it the best place to produce cattle and sheep, but it also happens to be excellent for maturing casks.
血、汗、涙と言うとき、私たちはそれを意味します.私たちのウイスキーの一滴一滴には、私が魂と呼ぶのが好きなものがあり、私たちが表すもの、つまり卓越性を表しています!
