Scotch Malt Whisky Society Tour 26th May – 4thJune 2009 An exclusive tour to Scotland for members of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society escorted by Andrew Derbidge We have been waiting for a real whisky tour of Scotland for ages and here it is! As you would expect, there will be plenty of distillery visits (each one with its own distinguishing feature) carefully mapped out by our Cellarmaster. We also visit a cooperage to see how these very important vessels that contribute about 60% of the flavour to our inimitable single cask single malts are made. The tour will see us cross the country up, down and sideways with visits to Speyside and Islay. Apart from all things Whisky and wonderful dining (Loch Fyne oysters at Loch Fyne), beautiful Scottish scenery will be in plentiful supply. If you are not a member of the SMWS but would like to come, it’s easy to join.
