On behalf of the family, friends and the team at Artisan, thank you to all who came to celebrate the life of Derek Mather. And we would like to extend our thanks to those who logged into the livestream to celebrate with us.
Today was all about Derek, and the tributes that has poured in from all corners of the world has given the family some comfort in knowing how loved and well known he is for his love, cooking and whisky.
For those who made the journey today, thank you.
Here is the bottle kill picture from today, as Chef would always post after a bottle (or few) was finsihed.
Slàinte Mhath, Chef. Thank you
From the family and Artisan Team
