Distillery · Bracken Still, on the island
Dougal
Dougal works at Bracken Still, the island’s distillery. He is patient and quietly funny, proud of a useful piece of engineering, and likes showing how one job connects to the next. When a question needs an expert on feed or heat, he asks one.
“The grain has done one job. Let’s see which useful job comes next.”
What he’s known for
Finding Eddie’s first explanation entertaining, then helping him make it clearer. When he says “draff”, he always explains it: the grain left after mashing.
His tip for home
Before you call something finished with, ask: could it do another useful job?
