Islay distillers face peated malt shortages

Διαβάζοντας το άρθρο, λίγο πολύ, η κατάσταση ήταν / είναι αναμενόμενη.

Η ζήτηση υπερκαλύπτει την προσφορά και αυτό οδηγεί σε προβλήματα για όσους δεν ανήκουν στο DIAGEO portfolio. 

Το ίδιο όμως φαίνεται να είναι το πρόβλημα και σε άλλους maltsters που αδυνατούν να καλύψουν την ζήτηση.

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/scotland-now/25-words-mean-something-completely-28291049?utm_source=daily_record_newsletter&utm_campaign=scotland_now_newsletter2&utm_medium=email

A constant source of confusion for visitors (and often, a source of hilarity for Scots), certain words can mean very, very different things to people in Scotland than they do for others.

This means that simple exchanges between Scots can often seem baffling to outsiders when they don't realise the difference.

From "popping out to get the messages" to showing people "your piece", there are some expressions and terms that are bound to get non-Scots doing a double take.

Thankfully, mastering the basics won't take long, and before you know it you'll be able to join in with the locals with more confidence you know what they are referring to.

To help, we've put together a handy guide to some of the best words that mean something completely different in Scotland.

Here are some of our favourites.

Huge news from The Balvenie this week as it announced that Kelsey McKechnie has been named as malt master, following her four-year apprenticeship under industry legend David C Stewart MBE, who recently celebrated his 60th year working for the distillery.

Kelsey first joined The Balvenie in 2014, having graduated from the University of West Scotland that year with a Bachelor's degree in biology and biological sciences. She progressed to study a Master's degree in brewing and distilling at Edinburgh's Heriot-Watt University.

Congratulations to both Kelsey and David on this momentous occasion!
