This is a lightbox and shelf made from
a hybrid of sweet chesnut and oak
made for the ‘Marrying and Blending
Room’ at the Famous Grouse Visitor
Centre in Crieff.
The light box is approximately 8 1/2
feet wide and is very heavy. This room
is used to inform visitors how the
distilleries marry and blend the various
whiskies to come up with the final
taste. To the right of the shelf and
lightbox is the bottle display cabinet
which is pictured
below.
These three items were installed in December and
January of last year in temperatures of -15 degrees
centigrade. The job took slightly longer than
anticipated due to the cold freezing our brains and
it seemed like everything was going in slow motion!
