Single malts


Animals bumming ffs.

Only messing, cheers mate, appreciate it. I'll report back on my findings. I only really know red wine and rum so would like to know whisky a bit like.

see if you can get a 'taster menu'. One or two each of highland, lowland, islay, speyside, island (and possibly Campbelltown, although there are only two distilleries there now). This will help with what flavours you like best.

Right, that's really helpful mate thanks. Will they do stuff like this at the distilleries? I'll pay extra for works like.
 

Either the Bells in Pitlochry or one in near by Blair Atholl mate. They're the two he linked.

We're staying a bit from there so have to come south to them. I hope we make it back.

The Glenturret is near Blair if I remember right, lovely malt they make there. The 18yo is gorgeous.

...the whisky is not bad either.
 
Couple of good links from tommye above.

Distilleries give you a free drink at the end of their tours too Chico. Most give you a good double (which I think is still a 1/5th gill up there) but Oban gave us one to walk around with AND one at the end.

Talisker gave us what was basically half a pint of scotch at the beginning and then steered us into the shop at the end. Scottish holidays are boss, come to think of it.

Glen Ord were tight with their freebies but it's a good one so I'll gloss over that.

Super stuff mate. Looking forward to it very much indeed. I was up in the same place last summer and had a great time despite the weather. I'm with some good lids so should be similar. The new whisky thing excites me but you can't feign a taste for it can you, so I'll probably try too hard.

If you do this then leave the heavily peated Islays until last or you won't be able to taste the other ones.

I reckon most malts are worth a taste neat before adding a drop of water. Quite a different taste experience.

Good advice all round this
