Chef Jan Rodriguez gets a souvenir from Balvenie. The smell of these roasted barley transports you to their distillery. Visit our bar & Taproom and have a whiff! #Repost @janrodriguez ・・・ Dipping Dog, were once used by distillery workers to “liberate” whisky from casks in the warehouse. Made from copper tubing and tied to the belt, it was stored down the worker’s trouser leg. The dog was then dipped into casks and filled with whisky when the Exciseman’s back was turned. The vessels were affectionately known as ‘dogs’ due to them being a man’s best friend, kept on a lead and always by one’s side. This however is a small version, filled with roasted barley, a special souvenir from Balvenie. You can smell the distillery from these grains, and this copper dog will grace our bar from here on. Thanks @nstra87 for this. #whisky #whiskylive #whiskylive2017 #whiskylivemanila (at Weekend)
