The first frost has kissed #Edinburgh's cobblestones, and the festive lights are twinkling above our historic streets. Dare we say, it's beginning to feel (a little) like #Christmas! ❄️ How's the weather in your corner of the world? Feeling festive yet? ✨

Had some great tastes while in #Orkney September’23. Really enjoyed our afternoon tour @Kirkjuvagr_Gin with Steve. Great to see they’ve got their whisky going now too. @HighlandPark was a quicker visit but we felt very welcome. #VisitOrkney 🥃Thx @AbsoluteEscapes
It's an exciting time to be a whisky fan in #Orkney 🥃 There are new releases from @ScapaDistillery, new-look bottles from @HighlandPark, and Single Malts on the way from @deer_distillery and @Kirkjuvagr_Gin too 😋 Find out more ⬇️ #TasteOfOrkney
