Whisky travel
Whisky shopping in the west of Scotland
Travelling to Scotland and not planning some whisky-related shopping would be criminal. My success rate with online suggestions was very mixed. So, before getting back to my usual program, I want to share my top whisky shop picks in the west of Scotland after my recent trip.
Scottish Summer Adventures pt.5: The Bruichladdich Experience
All good things must come to an end, and so did my two whisky-laden weeks in Scotland. I couldn’t miss the chance to finish with a bang. My thinking is that good memories will foster future return trips to Islay. The final high point of the trip came with the Bruichladdich Experience.
Scottish Summer Adventures pt. 4: Bunnahabhain Warehouse 9 tasting
After Glasgow and Arran my journey took me to Islay for a few days. Time being short, I had to make tough choices regarding which distilleries to visit. My fellow whisky geeks’ top suggestion was Bunnahabhain and their Warehouse 9 tasting.
Scottish Summer Adventures pt.3: The Lochranza (Arran) select tasting
Being on Arran with a cope days on my hand it would have been criminal only to visit the Lagg distillery, missing Lochranza distillery home of Arran whisky. Instead of the tour, I opted for the select tasting offering samples of Arran’s limited editions.
Scottish Summer Adventures, pt.2: Lagg Distillery tour
After Glasgow, and Clydeside Distillery, my next Scotland stop was the Isle of Arran. Often referred to as Scotland in Miniature, it is also a great whisky destination with two distilleries easily reachable from the main port of Brodick. Today am taking you on the Lagg Distillery tour.
Scottish Summer Adventures, pt.1: Clydeside Distillery tour
Having spent the past weeks in Scotland, I will be sharing some of my whisky experiences. I hope I can provide helpful information for those planning a whisky-themed trip to Scotland, starting today with the Lowlands region and Glasgow’s Clydeside Distillery tour.
Wee toon adventures, part three: Glen Scotia Master Distiller tour
For the last leg of my Wee Toon adventures, I am off to Glen Scotia for the Master Distiller tour and the accompanying Dunnage Warehouse tasting with a chance to try some unique cask samples.
Cadenhead’s Warehouse tasting: Wee toon adventures, part two
I continue my short break from reviews to share the second part of my highlights from a recent visit to Campbeltown. Today, part two: the Cadenhead’s Warehouse tasting.
Wee toon adventures, part 1: Watt Whisky Wednesday Tasting
For the next week or so, I will take a short break from reviews to share some highlights from a recent short visit to Campbeltown, or, as it is locally known, the Wee Toon, starting with Watt Whisky Wednesdays tasting
