Got to know the owner/manager Paul (still have his business card with his cell number written on the back). I also got my first kilt there, although I didn't buy it in store, but at his stall at the local highland games. The whisky shop in the back is subletted if I remember correctly.

Meaning that it's cooperatively operated, or that it's now completely in someone else's hands, perhaps even doing something else?
I must admit that my palette is VERY unsophisticated, not up to the task of calling up 4 syllable adjectives to describe wine, whisky, OR coffee tasting notes (I'm guessing the generative AI bots will do a MUCH better—and perhaps hilarious—job of that than I ever could).
Perhaps my curiosity genes were more active when I began trolling the USA Kilts website a few years ago, but I really didn't LEARN a lot at Wm Glen, although I liked the kilt I ordered there. Do YOU know where they're made? In Scotland? In Wm Glen's basement or shop somewhere else in the US?
