Distilleries to Visit 2009 From the source of the water to the shape of the still, a distillery tour will help to explain what makes every Scotch Whisky different. No two distilleries are the same. Each has a unique setting and story, as well as a distinctive way of doing things that has evolved over many years. Visiting a distillery allows you to indulge your passion for Scotch and, at the same time, discover the environment and meet the people that have done so much to shape that instantly recognisable taste. No matter which distillery you choose to visit - be it island, mainland, large or small - you can expect great Scotch Whisky, a warm Scottish welcome, and a fabulous day out. Scotland is the home of Scotch Whisky and host to the greatest concentration of distilleries in the world. There are around 100, making Malt Whisky by the centuries-old Pot Still method or Grain Whisky in the Coffey or Patent Still which has been in use since 1831. Few products are so closely linked with the environment, culture and people of their country of origin as Scotch Whisky. Scotch Whisky is subject to a tight legal definition. Made only from barley and other cereals, water and yeast it can only be called Scotch if it has been distilled and matured in Scotland. Distilled in a land of breathtaking natural beauty, it takes nothing from nature which nature will not replace. It is a natural drink, a distillation of the riches with which Scotland is so abundantly endowed - fields of golden barley, water tumbling down glens of granite and over moors of peat; and cool pure Scottish air. Scotch Whisky is classified in one of five main categories - Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Single Grain Scotch Whisky, Blended Scotch Whisky, Blended Malt Scotch Whisky and Blended Grain Scotch Whisky. Further legal protection for consumers is given to the regional names associated with Scotch Malt Whisky production - Highland, Lowland, Speyside, Islay, and Campbeltown - according to the location of the distillery in which the spirit is made. Scotch Whisky is Scotland's leading indigenous product, and is of major importance to the economy not only of Scotland, but of the United Kingdom as a whole. Sold around the world for more than 100 years, Scotch Whisky is now established as the leading international spirit drink, making it one of Britain’s most important exports. Many distilleries welcome visits by members of the public. It is often necessary to make arrangements in advance, but many distilleries have extensive visitor facilities and do not require prior warning of a visit. ISLAY Islay, a small island off the west coast of Scotland, may be only 25 miles long but is home to 8 distilleries. The whiskies from this area have more than a hint of saltiness due to the fact that Islay is frequently lashed by Atlantic storms. Sea spray blows across the island, impregnating the peat used in the malting of the barley and blows into the warehouses where casks of Scotch Whisky lie maturing, thus affecting the taste and aroma. The result is that some of the Islay whiskies are pungent and powerful with a distinctive whiff of sea air in them. Other distilleries that are in a more sheltered location, and use less peat during malting have a gentler but still clearly identifiable character.

The rugged landscape and changeable climate, and in some cases, coastal locations, are reflected in the character of its whiskies, which embrace wide variations. As a group, Highland whiskies are rounded, robust and dry in character, with a hint of smokiness/peatiness. Those near the sea carry a salty tang; in the far north the whiskies are more notably heathery and slightly spicy in character; while in the more sheltered east and middle of the region, the whiskies have a more fruity character.

Highland Park 12yr (40%) From Scotland’s northernmost distillery comes a full flavoured Malt. With a nose of malt, sherry and peat, a palate of smoke, heather and other earthy elements. Highland Park 15yr (43%) Highland Park 15 has a remarkable complex nose with notes of camphor, peat and citrus fruits and flowers. The drying sensation on the finish leaves a rich smoky feeling and the immediate desire to refill your glass. Highland Park 18yr (43%) Burnished gold in colour with a rich, mature oak and aromatic smoke aroma. It has a rich, full flavour, honey and peat taste and a soft, round and long finish. Highland Park 21yr (47.5%) Drawing its incredible character from predominantly American oak casks which have been seasoned with sherry, this 21 year old is a truly dynamic whisky with an intensely fruity and spicy centre, surrounded by complex layers of candied orange peel, dark chocolate and rich, slightly drier smoke. A malt that rewards patience and delivers experience like no other. Highland Park 25yr (50.7%) With its golden dark red colour and very rich, mature oak, chocolate fudge aroma, this whisky is universally acclaimed, by the critics as one of the great single malts. It has a full, rich burst of flavours, soft honey and nutty toffee and a long and surprisingly sweet finish for its age. Highland Park 30yr (48.1%) 30 years ago after deciding to lay down the casks that would go on to become the heart of this exceptional whisky and over these 3 decades, the whisky maturing inside them has developed an outstanding balance, with a seductive sweetness and extremely delicate smoke.

Join us for an incredible tour of Scotland, where you’ll discover what makes Scottish Whisky so wildly unique. There is no one better to help us explore the lore, the liquid, the people and the history of the Hebrides than our Trusted Experts. Our bespoke tour begins in Glasgow on Saturday, May 14th, with a wee introduction to Scotch Whisky and the environs of Glasgow, including a visit to Glengoyne Distillery. On Sunday, May 15th, we will fly to the queen of the Hebrides, Islay. We will be ensconced at the beautiful Machrie Hotel and Golf Links, overlooking the sea.

We are delighted to introduce you to our friends at iconic distilleries such as Laphroaig, Langavulin, Ardbeg, Ardnahoe, Bunnahabhain, Caol Ila, Bowmore and Bruichladdich.
