2011 Tour!

Our 2011 Scottish itinerary
Ciamar a tha sibh? (I've got to start practicing my gaelic!)

We're prepping up for the 2011 tour.  This one is going to be a little shorter than we are used to (2 weeks), but we'll make the best of it.
  • First week: Aberdeenshire and Moray. When you think Moray, you should think of Speyside - that's where a very large percent of all Scottish distilleries lay (MacAllan and Glenfiddich are iconic figures of this area). However, we will not be going to the Speyside.  We will be concentrating on the northern coast, where we'll visit an "old newcomer" - Glenglassaugh, amongst others.
  • Second week: Argyll & Bute. We're off to see the Campbeltown distilleries (or what's left of the many that were there). After, 6 days on Islay. Where we'll visit some old favorites for ultimate tours: Laphroaig, Ardbeg amongst others.
And of course, we'll top it off with the distillery that started it all - a 5 hour connoisseur tour of the Glengoyne distillery.

Here is a quick list of some of the distilleries we'll be visiting:
  1. Fettercairn
  2. Glen Garioch
  3. Glenglassaugh
  4. Glendronach
  5. Edradour
  6. Glengoyne
  7. Springbank
  8. Kilkerran
  9. Bruichladdich
  10. Isle of Jura
  11. Bowmore
  12. Laphroaig
  13. Ardbeg
  14. Auchentoshan
  15. Maybe more... Who knows?
Talk to you soon.


Sláinte mhath!
