13 Distilleries and 3 Golf Courses in 19 days, just heaven.

If golf is your thing and you don’t mind a quiet wee dram, why not come with me to Scotland on a personally guided tour of the highlands.
I’ve teamed up with IntAir Corporate travel in Hawthorn for the ultimate whisky and golf extravaganza.
Commencing in early October and lasting 19 days or 21 days with the optional Dubai stopover the tour which I have personally structured will visit distilleries and sights not normally open to the public.
Flying Emirates, we will arrive in Glasgow to commence the trip of a lifetime.
From Glasgow we travel by coach past Loch Lomond and then by ferry to the very heart of the peated malt country, Islay, where we will call the village of Bowmore home for 3 days. Personalized tours of Laphroaig, Ardbeg, Bowmore, Caol Illa and Bunnahabhan just to name a few are included. Read more…

You be the independent judge.

After a quiet summer period where the distillery was dismantled, checked and serviced for yet another year of distilling I thought I would throw our malts to the wolves, so as to speak and get some real unbiased comment.
After a quick visit to the finished goods store I grabbed a few bottles for the crew at “Winestate” to have a look at.
All going well we should get some feedback later in the year when you have two options,
1. Slip down to the newsagent and pick up a copy of Winestate yourself or
2. Watch this space.

Sometimes I just wonder why I do these things, just like living on the edge I guess.
