for news on our website, that's d w dot com the, this is definitely kind of priest parish needs. if he didn't exist, he'd have to be invented. he's a man of faith and the nice change for the church. it's been, i'm a church rebel or the self proclaimed. a rebel has landed in edinburgh. his mission is unconventional. he's leading

a group of whiskey enthusiasts through scotland. whiskey he says is holy, water, spirituality and spirit in one. the father of both gone hold has been organizing whiskey pilgrimages in his free time for years, and they're almost always full. this is his 1st trip sense corona, bus driver, david williams is a familiar figure on the tourist. hello, hello. can you hear me? great. we're ready to go up. this is all stops. i just welcome to the promised land of scotland. david williams drives whiskey tours regularly, but it was gone. hold taught him that they can also be seen as christian

pilgrimages. didn't know who i was get and i looked at identity and i saw the name and when i saw a proof of gang come off the plane, i noticed out adult color. and this 1st, like i said to him, is this okay, you know, the going to be drinking whiskey and he said, well, you know, the angels drink it so, so it was quite a good time to really have any answer but something, you know, so yeah, yeah, but he's pretty cool guy. finance? indeed, maybe 20 kids. we don't want to neglect the spirituality in the sense. so let's start with some, pres, yeah, yeah. on the box. but given the present, the beginning of the journey, it's read as i get style, hand out the words of a human. now kind of and then you make out d, david, happy again by filling his bus, we'd like to use mckesson on the, in the, in the name of the father and of this on my end of the holy spirit. it me

before corona struck, scotland rugged judy attracted $15000000.00 tourists a year. the whiskey distilleries are a vital component of scotlands economy and many welcome visitors with tours. and of course, with the taste things, the

john hutton shows the group around glenn going the, this out of the 6 is i'm my most important aspect is mindfulness. and, and of course we don't just go down the alcohol and we appreciated with a little less census here. this isn't a wild engine involved. this is also kind, it's an exercise in mindfulness. so in the end and exercising a motorized tonight, when supplies of an people domestic fatherhood as group bring scientific precision to the tasting room looks more like a laboratory than a pub the as well. some ways to 8 the number $1.00 to $5.00 and struggle thought you see there's like

a taste choose to boss just from each one of a $1.00 to $5.00 with tonight i need to be glossed use in front of a number, but it defines both gone. the whole to also see something define in whiskey or signal, excuse me, what could the jobs have a taste here? yeah, i just missed the one that actually you should say grace at such a originally prepared table. but this is already distilled into it. no one is drinking just to drink. she showed us just careful. shipping and tasting. we fell hawks it. so this one you have to start refilling this one. yeah. like a way get like some don't taste the whiskey at all. they just snapped up. it's called nosing mother. when you look through this glass on the look straight into the heavens, this is, do you still wish cassim? historically, whiskey has an increase. the asked to go context statement from quantity. it's

probably the only product that was invented behind the monastery rolls on the 1st of all, we have a product in front of us that is really ecclesiastical us. vic, religious and origin kick became going to use or sponsors to can more from both gone. gold is considered a whiskey kind of source with the link to spirituality is his trademark. but whiskey makers don't entirely understand. well, you know, not too much. i'm not too much familiar with a, you know too much of a history on the monks part of it. yeah, yeah, bought me what time she has like scotch whisky, anyone who likes whiskey scott into the base westgate annually on the world. both guns water has a special fondness for the british aisles. he escaped there in his thoughts when he was in a bad place in 2004. he was then vice rector of a seminary involved in the formation of new priests. he had disagreements with his bishop, after an argument halter had

a dizzy spell. he claims the bishop had him lie down on a couch and drunk him. then hold the says, the bishop molested him the . and when i got home that he knows that i drank a glass of wine to either come by disgusting to shame. plus mine good. told me i didn't know what the bishop gave me and these spots that visual for me. yeah. it was a psycho tropic drug and alcohol was a very bad combination with unemployment funding from our clients. i don't think but fish the did. i don't remember what happened off to that and, and fin motor slice i later that night and i fell in an old jump from the balcony of my apartment. and both of them fall off. these are not, i don't know if i call them or not, but i just don't remember fi and pullman bustle. fremont as far as this needs to have a kind of a no vote. i didn't tell anybody about the incident that and he accuses of molesting him, was his superior in the church hierarchy. both suffered for 4 years. submitting to

absurd tests and punishments. he said finally, he was reassigned to the diocese as well. and the port to, i can honestly say i was told you few and fits the full horrible years that have lived within lockerman to this day, having the data, the guy tom. but it also showed me the absurdities and brutality. the judge is capable all the time you had some curious effect. as more and more victims of sexual abuse raise their voices. a hotel brought his case to the attention of the cardinal. but nobody in the church believed his story. he was told the accusations were baseless and that he should keep quiet. the solicitations which i have since learned that there's a culture of silence in the church. i know good poor despise hashed things that should be discussed because that's the only way that can be clarified and dealt with properly. the us swept under the carpet as lawn and glided fed and couldn't best month us. the church tries to keep them secret and cover the mom and hide. mister the, some of us pushing our sta. hotel refuses to remain silent any longer. he

wrote a book about his experience. the bishop, he accused of molesting him, has suitable for defamation. and last 2 court cases, the back on tour, the conditions are quite luxurious for a pilgrimage. the pilgrims stay at hotels, not monastery guessed houses. and there was no strenuous walking bus driver, david williams, i'm so used to that. the today they're headed to lindisfarne, also called holy island,

a popular destination for day trippers. it can only be reached at low tide. the island lies off the northumberland coast and was an important centre of celtic christianity starting in the 6th century. but it's not just the picture ask ruins of the medieval priory that draw fatherhood to end his pilgrims. the fuck is here. we know it'd be a wisc route here because in the ruins of the morning century behind us. and you can still see what's left of the bird ring. how, how is this to, is in the nation batch where the mash was prepared in the initial stage of the beer brewing process. but it's still intact. the interesting con, perhaps the monks also just do that, which was common in many motors, draft to obtain a high proof alcohols and thing article he was used in monastic, and some are easy to produce medicinal teaches. for me, the technician thing to think of off the top, although it survived the vikings, it couldn't withstand the protestant reformation,

and the 16th century escaped. kind of, it's almost isn't. was that load? as they were 9 months old phrases and cats and weeks weren't allowed to practice despite in england, and also a neighboring scotland to me. for several centuries, ice tossed a foot board. but the reformation didn't make whisky distilling disappear. ones the preserve of irish and scottish monasteries. whiskey survived the reformation, outside monastery walls. the contemporary distillers are happy to share their knowledge. although a risk of explosion means we can't fail my many distilleries. we're welcome to borders distillery and are given a little safety briefing as we enter. and on top of that, there can be some sirens. you may see people running around. if i've seen com, it's a normal working. if you see me running, you might want to keep the group listens patiently to the distillery worker.

it's the 3rd distillery on this pilgrimage, and they're familiar with most of the facts all ready to start to all for a good start with the need. just 3 ingredients, barley nice and warm, but it's like a ritual. or a progression to store all is take or barley and put away this 20 percent of costs . they still listen closely to the story of how barley is transformed into with kick it out. in the large mash baths, the crushed grain is mixed with hot water. the starch in the barley turns into sugar. a strainer, sits at the bottom of the vet and collects the sugar solution. the grain residue remains used has been added, which gets to work producing alcohol and carbon dioxide,

cos that you're going to get punched by slow part of that. it should be nice. so feel free to come up one by one. have a nice little chunk of it, the when the east culture dies, something like b or emerges. save a pawn shop. there is but we prefer something a bit stronger around here. so we're going to take this 3rd to the cell house and produce a spare. copper stills are used for distillation. the temperature in these bills is close to 90 degree celsius, just below boiling point. i and the a lot of others prefer the high stream of action to those around one percent. but one crucial step is still missing to turn this clear mold spirit into whiskey.

in the holy root distillery we see oak barrels. the beverage may only be called whiskey if it has been aged in oak for at least 3 years. the barrels give whisky its color and much of its flavor. the it's the same ritual at the end of each distillery tour, a whisky tasting. but instead of with the holy rude offers, the pilgrims knew make whiskey that's not quite mature yet. because holly rude has only been producing since 2019 the bus driver. david understandably, isn't par taking, although he drives lots of tourists. he's especially fond of the whisky pilgrims. it's a very civilized group. yeah. yeah. there's very easy to get along with very friendly . we don't seem to get very drunk because we seem to be interested in how you the

whiskey is me then with its common strong stuff like that. so it's not as if so just knocking them back sort of thing. so yeah, yeah, i mean this, if there's no chance of on the, on the boss to its own, quite happier but, you know, and, but yeah, yeah, lovely, good. and that's also why it's not difficult to start early every day. those gone well, it has planned to the tour in detail today. they're focusing on the famous scottish novelist, sir walter scott. its own good wouldn't come off. it's all ready to sell your sides. classic novels like rob roy scott also wrote some famous poems including the lady of the lake. the scots have named one of the finest views and the scottish borders . after him. scott's view to walter scott is said to have loved standing here gazing at the 3 peaks of the island hills and the meandering river tweed below the

defense rivers. and it's really beautiful. no. oh, the next stop is abbotsford house. so walter scott's home, the tour guide priest has something special in store who wants to say one of the prison, petitioner bits, and several of the sites . i only have 2 more blocks. the one i'm going to enroll in senior can start coming inside there. celebrating mass and sir walter scott's own chapel. the religious aspects of this trip are vital to both gone volta, the hind hod gutting and left the church. but he booked the pilgrimage any way. he wanted to give religion another

shot, a whiskey is just an added bonus. bin. either spoke bizarre, there's an old saying he that whisky is a liquid sunshine, a minimum. and then if you taste the whiskey consciously, costa can tell that god wants human life to be good for. indeed, the scot, this good me once mention line does that he wants to enrich our lives and give us joy to shame and nice to. and this truth continues to show us that we scheming tales even better on and when you enjoy to get us off. denise, but schmidt and of mazda, of cindy. it's very interesting what we're doing here. on the one hand, it's about whiskey, which is okay, but you can do that any time. i enjoyed my food, but it's also interesting to know once i'm eating, drinking consciously, living conscious leaves for sleeping consciously in the presence. it's a very interesting idea. wind. noise was gone. the water succeeds in bringing

people back to the church. people like christine she left more than 30 years ago, but still feels a strong connection to the catholic faith by excuse endorsed and lighting the logs and the fund to mental us. m a and fanatics the minutes that they may see the lights every since it's called tones up top. oh the think about what is it? so i was raised catholic and still feel a connection to catholicism, but a lot of what they teach it too narrow for me. so i'm no longer a member just being towed as a kitchen wolf, gang is different things. so the most gone or does approach is successful. mine

the mit stare. speed 20. if i started developing a spirituality of whiskey a slot, when i couldn't sleep one night on my new, i can and i had the idea was using my own passion for scotland, scottish culture and scottish always piece is that to confront people with questions and they've done it loudon statements in believable and it was successful on the phone. so new at off, i'm a common mention. people came to my event types who wouldn't otherwise think of setting a fortunate to it would be spread out. in a cases it seemed to have both gone hold, has found his own path in the catholic church and sets his own priorities. he's open the gate and gives his priestly blessing, took we're couples. he also supports ordaining women. he's been a vocal critic of sexual abuse in the catholic church, but not everybody approves. this is on the found this,

you must be the top adjustment. they view me as a disloyal. i know because i focused on issues that present the judge thing in a bad lights off coupling. the kind go to some of the case of asking when some, and even my most of received as a troublemaker on the, as someone who never gives up a scheme on, as someone who's fixated on, what's important to me, it might be the dots on police watson beach biggest ones i was calling is i need to sell both getting embodies something that the church itself doesn't represent currently. i hate to be tries to keep us in a place where we don't want to be as i was because of him. i'm not so concerned about leaving the judge. now he thinks they will just send us the crews out. he's the best price we could have now. as the catholic church goes through these, trying times to each must have them come. but some, if i send you a lot of congress, what fascinates me about both going? yes, he's unconventional man at a time in conflict. doesn't avoid controversial issues on. he struck me as a man at the church some years ago. and 5,

when i bought the call from how to find power you on the in addition to focusing on important issues, the pilgrims also have a lot of fun on this tour. the scotland is a land of castles, old fortresses, and beautiful scenery. the negotiating a traditional maze is on every tourist's bucket list, the after the relaxing tempo of the countryside. something quite different. awaits the pilgrims. edinburgh,

the pilgrims are hoping to surprise the priest before the tour is over. he voluntarily organizes the trips and the pilgrims don't pay for his travel. so they want to show

their appreciation for his work. he knows what's coming and says he feels awkward when complimented or praised of these visibly embarrassed. yeah. as well. it was wonderful. it is a really lovely trip high. and that's why we spared neither expense nor effort to engage some very famous singers to perform for you. they even brought along a choir on clement people. i proudly percent's pretty much gone to monsters by morgan is due on co star. this is carla garrett who

in his home parish both gone to vote is only an assistant. the pastor is deputy, it's a humble position for a man who holds to doctor is. but he doesn't seem to mind as long as he can continue working as a priest. thank you very much. god bless you, let me close you fast. oh, lovely. thank you. god bless. when i can promise you one thing already. i'll start planning next year's trip. the day after tomorrow, at the latest of this been not in the que,

i'm still in the judge right even slightly because i want to make sure my opinions are being heard occasionally. smith on and if i were to leave, i'd be helping the very people who were the reason for my leaving. and i'm not going to do them that fav onto her. she missed the boat. the gun was i loved the catholic church in spite of everything. he loves catholic spirituality, the churches, traditions, and rituals. and who knows? perhaps the self proclaimed a church rebel is creating a new tradition with his whisky pilgrimages, the
