I am going north of the border shortly and heading for Skye, on my way their and on my way back (not to mention whilst I am there) I intend to sample a few drams and ales so hopefully, on my return their will be a few tastings listed  _________________ i've been on a whisky diet, i've lost 3 days already

Excellent, my trip last month was a quiet affair except for a few bars so I hope you get to as many distilleries as possible and make me really jealous  |
Well I do intend to go to Tullibardine this year as well as Edradour, Dalwhinnie, Talisker, Blair Athol and maybe a pop into Glenkinchie on the way home. Is this enough  _________________ i've been on a whisky diet, i've lost 3 days already

I'm the driver and Mrs T will just make sure i go in the right direction.
One year when we went to Skye, I made the mistake of going to the Gaelic Whisky Company on the way to the hotel, I sampled far to many whiskies before buying. Mrs T does not drive i have to add. I was in such a jolly mood that we went to Talisker Distillery as well. Yes, I know it was stupid but my intention was to buy not to sample. I will certainly not be making that error again and will stick to the 'samples' at the hotel, at last count, 127 (that was last year so plenty to go at. _________________ i've been on a whisky diet, i've lost 3 days already

Wish I could remember the pub we went to that was near Talisker distillery, I believe it looked into a loch and there was a church there and not much else. This is the pub that is ran by the sister of someone from a folk band called the Peatbog Faeries, you'll know if your there as they have there CD's for sale behind the bar. _________________ https://www.facebook.com/Let-the-drink-talk-675586225966432/ |

Talisker distillery in in a region of Skye called Carbost, the distillery overlooks Loch Harport and the hotel you mean could be the Taigh Ailean Hotel, link below.
