Summary
Farm Ness grows just over 200 acres of malted barley that then gets transformed into whisky, with some of it even going to Glenmorangie.
However, while whisky is a part of Scottish culture, it can be incredibly challenging to produce in the Highlands as the malted barley, which creates the spirited drink we all know and love, is highly weather dependent.
Donald Fraser, who runs and owns Farm Ness, is the fourth generation of farmers in his family and spends his days perfecting the farm’s barley crop in order to make delicious whisky.
It’s been too wet and too cold this year, so some of the barley is really struggling.
The grain leaves the farm, and then we get this amazing product, whiskey, which is sold all round the world and makes a lot of money.
