LONG gone are the days when more than 100 warehouses and other
-related buildings bustled away in Leith. By the 1980s, little remained, bar the empty hulks of those behemoths, as this port district itself struggled. I’ve just been back on the new trams and I’m delighted to report that Leith is again synonymous with whisky.
Justine’s tour always ends, of course, with a wee tasting, All the drams have a Leith connection. We talk of Leith today and she is delighted to see Crabbie’s Bonnington Distillery going great guns since opening in Leith in 2020. She also rates Leith’s Woven Whisky Makers, who conjure up superb blends in the Biscuit Factory.
Port of Leith Distillery co-founder Ian Taylor greets me. They are now greeting everyone to their whisky bar, easily one of Scotland’s most scenic, peering out over the Firth of Forth towards the low hills of Fife. They do food too and tours have just started the week I visit. Leith’s new whisky enterprises are bringing in jobs too. “We’re employing 50 people directly in the whisky business,” says Ian. “We’re also trying to keep it as local as possible with low food miles. “All our barley comes from just outside Edinburgh. For water we’ve got a borehole that delves down 130m into mineral-rich water that will help with a spirit we want full of flavour and complexity even before it sees a cask.
I meet Pip and he takes me through the story of how what started as a group of pals buying a cask to enjoy themselves turned into a global club with 40,000 members. And how they helped revolutionise whisky in the volte-face from blends being pre-eminent to the current popularity of single malts.
