From the first sighting of the distant pagoda, to the rich smell of the still house and the ultimate sip of the golden elixir, there can’t be a more evocative industry, or product, than Scotch Whisky. I was told when I was young it was an acquired taste. I’m pleased to say I did my time and reached full acquisition. Visiting distilleries and meeting the people responsible for the iconic liquid, never gets old. I’ve been privileged enough to spend time deep behind the scenes, in the basements and bowels of the systems that give rise to an international phenom. I’m pleased to produce work for a number of clients in this world.

These photos are a selection of work produced for Whyte & Mackay across some of their brands. I’ve followed Master Whisky Maker & Blender Gregg Glass as he pursues projects designed to achieve a more sustainable practice across the industry, and explores all aspects of whisky making with an incredible and inspirational creative edge.
