Whiskey distillery tours

[Garfields]

There has been so much interest shown on this topic
and so very much to take in from knowledgeable tipplers,
I am going to sit down, as I need a drink

That's breakfast taken care of then

As it’s not Scottish whisky . It would be ok to call it whiskey. Like the Irish and American versions

It's English Whisk(e)y, using a Scottish still, Norfolk water, East Anglian malted barley, and American Barrels, so a bit of a hybrid as far as the spelling goes,
Most important is it tastes great, and after a few the spelling doesn't matter at all

One thing I did notice is you've called it "whiskey". The Scottish drink to which you're referring is "whisky".

I'm just back from the campsite in Grantown on Spey. I've stayed there many times and is a beautiful wee place with plenty options for distilleries. I'm unsure what the status is for tours just now with the pandemic, so if you're planning a trip, then I'm certain the website would advise you if tours are going ahead. There are some beautiful distilleries scattered about, so if that's your thing, then you've plenty options in Speyside.

Whilst Speyside is not on the NC500 route, you could make two different trips whilst you're up here. The whisky part and NC500. However you do it, enjoy yourself and take plenty photos to post some on here. Scotland really is a beautiful place.

A few new or "de-mothballed" distilleries coming into production over the passed \ upcoming years. Just a pity it takes so long for the output to appear on the shelves!

We had a funsters meet at the St George’s distillery a few years ago
cant remember a thing.......

One of the reasons mothballed distilleries are being brought back is the need for more “craft” GINS. The spirit can be bottled immediately after adding a few botanicals. It must be aged in a cask in Scotland for three years to be called Scotch whisky.
