Geography of Whisky

Regular readers of the blog will know that I have a long standing intention to do a unit on the Geography of Whisky.

As well as the M1, it is 20 minutes from Luton Airport, and next to the Thames Link rail line. It is "the largest e-commerce distribution centre in Europe. This purpose built facility occupies the same space as eight football pitches, equivalent to the length of three London Eye’s stacked on top of each other."
