  • A trip to Raymond & Jenni's Farm ahead of the Blacknose Beauties National Show.

     

    Nikki and Lisa from the Distillery made a visit to local farmers Raymond and Jenni's farm to assist with the preparations of the ‘Blacknose Beauties National Show’ taking place this weekend. Volunteers where needed to assist in prepping the sheep who were a total of 30 and the ladies from the distillery were more than happy to help. The ‘Blacknose Beauties National Show’ is the first ever of its kind with guests from around the world expected to attend. We are proud to be supplying the winner’s trophy (pictured below) along with a bottle of Tomintoul whisky.
