ANOTHER FAVOURITE OF PAUL'S ...

A stay on the awe-inspiring islands of Orkney would not be complete without a visit to the northern most Scotch Whisky distillery in the world: Highland Park. We can take you there!

A visit to the distillery is a wonderful way in which to learn more about the history and traditions of these unique islands. In 2002, the Scottish Tourist Board awarded the distillery their Five Star Award in recognition of its excellent facilities and services.

Edradour is produced in Scotland's smallest distillery - and is hand made today as it was over 150 years ago by just three men who are devoted to the time-honoured methods of whisky making. Indeed equipment used at the distillery has remained unchanged since the day the distillery opened. Only 12 casks of whisky are produced a week, making Edradour single malt a pleasure for the fortunate few.
 

Not operational anymore, but visitors are welcome at Old Bushmills where Colerain whiskey is produced. Phone : 01265-731521 At one time, the grain whiskey came from the now extinct Coleraine distillery near Bushmills, and it was comprised mostly of barley (something which is unusual for a grain whiskey, which is usually produced with maize or wheat). The Coleraine distillery stopped making malt whiskey in the mid-1960s, and close down completely in 1978. Other sources say Coloraine's own distillery closed in the early 1980s. So who placed this one as "whisky of the moment"?  Paul did! "I love its smooth taste and have encouraged my pals to have a go, most of them really enjoy it. When I was over in Antrim July 2008, my friend from Coleraine (Heather) brought a couple of bottles down for me, mmmmmmmm!"

Highland Park 30 Year Old is an exceptionally fine whisky that builds on the world-class reputation already enjoyed by the 12 Year Old. It is the oldest single malt within the Highland Park range and is one of only a few 30yo distillery bottlings to be released on a permanent basis. (Size: 70cl 48.1% ABV)
