20th - 23rd July 2009

 

The OBAN and the distillery tour; one of the few distilleries to be located in the centre of a town, but with no where to expand. Join us and visit this beautiful distillery and find out all there is to know about this west coast treasure. Needless to say a good tasting session will form part of the proceedings!

Just a we note about Oban; Paul of MCLEANSCOTLAND was born not three miles from here, he knows it well and has mentioned the seafood landed on the pier each day is fantastic and suggests you all try some.
Ben Nevis once used both process of distillation under the same roof, yes continuous and pot processes where once used and gave birth to a single blend called the Dew of Ben Nevis; matured from birth and bottled as a 40yrs old.

This Distillery located so close to the Ben Nevis mountain, offers a tour out of the ordinary with expert veterans giving us a hand held tour where I am told all depth of whisky communication can take place. Be prepared and ask that pertinent question for a prompt answer!

21 July; A whisky dinner is on the menu this evening, enjoy!

 Hosted by Regis Whisky Mad you have the opportunity to participate in a whisky dinner, Whisky with food!? Really! och, yes!  This will consist of 3 pre dinner whiskies just to warm up and discover the perfect way to enjoy Scotch whisky water or no water? The Ritual! Wait and see you will be enlightened, after which each course of your meal will then be served with a carefully selected and matched Scotch whisky, single malt or blended which ever will be best suited. Explanation will be given all the way through the meal and feedback will be thought from all. The best of Scotland Larder with the best spirit in the world! (Ok I am biased - but its good aye!)
  The final day of our tour, we head to AUCHENTOSHAN - renowned for being a Glasgow Distillery and also for producing the only triple distilled single malt. With a new visitor centre, a re branding, Auchentoshan is red hot. I particularly like the new expression called “Classic” an entry level malt worth trying. With time for lunch here, we then move to our final destination; EDINBURGH.
