Summary
Whisky, the Gaelic "water of life", has symbolised the rugged, peaty Highlands and its inhabitants for centuries. Historically, the women of a farm were largely involved in the distillation process and yet whisky is mostly drunk by men and associated with men. The female protagonists of the documentary challenge this limited view and lack of representation and give the Hessian film team detailed insights into the production of Scotland's national drink. Every step of the production process is illuminated, from the grain harvest to fermentation and delicate blending. Between the old oak casks, a new generation of female whisky makers is maturing and taking on the many challenges of the future with great ingenuity.
