|
|
Just got back from Scotland. Will write in more detail at a later date but was able to get to Blair Athol, not a very good tour at all, very quick and at £4 not worth it!, nothing to spend the £3 voucher on they give you if you already collect whisky and very get you in and out tour. The next day we wandered around Glenturret and then onto Tullibardine which I can not say too many nice things about. The woman who showed us around was excellent and freindly in her delivery of the tour and facts. The £3 admision is all knocked off your purchases plus a free Tullibardine blenders malt glass! Lots of free whisky to try and an aamzing tour that both I and Old Faithful fully recommend though the distillery is very hard to find. Then onto Aberfeldy, filled up with a few whisky goodies and onto Edradour for a great free tour and free whisky to try. Wonderful one of a kind distillery and the cooling of the whisky is amazing as its outside and using the burn water. Very good guide again and lots of nice bottles in the shop as its nice owned by Signatory. Finsied with a drink at a real ale pub the Moulin and a trip around Bannockburn today on the way back. Kidneys still intact but we have raided many of the shops for some great whisky bargains and true whisky treats. :D _________________ https://www.facebook.com/Let-the-drink-talk-675586225966432/ |

She probably was and she was absolutely excellent. Fantatic tour and we were there as it opened about 10 am, so just me and Old Faithful. What time did you get there? _________________ https://www.facebook.com/Let-the-drink-talk-675586225966432/ |

we arrived at about 10.45 and had some coffee then on the £3 tour, sampled 1993, marsala cask and john black's plus a taste of the whisky ale. for £75 the john black's was lovely and i just had to but a bottle. out tour lasted around an hour and we had to have some lunch before i felt ok to drive. all in all a great tour :D :D _________________ i've been on a whisky diet, i've lost 3 days already

We bought the 1993 I think. cost around £35 a bottle. We were the two men before you on the tour and we were in the store afterwards so probably saw each other and had our cars parked up next to each other. In the visitors book their was an entry by us both and mine had www.whiskyroom.co.uk next to it!! :D :D How terrible is that, have to have some whiskyroom.co.uk badges made for when people up at the same time. _________________ https://www.facebook.com/Let-the-drink-talk-675586225966432/ |

Two blokes about mid 30's and that was us, and I do remember two people coming in to the tasting room as we were leaving. We had, or should I say I had, as Marcus (Old Faithful) was driving, tried quite a few of the whiskies icluding the Port finish which was lovely and one that was around £80 a bottle. She was very good, allowed us to try quite a few. Please if anyone is at a distillery and think they may get some benefit from saying they take part in the forum then please do, we did. We hope to give them quite a few good acknowledgements for their great care with their visitors and making it a great joy to look around. I have some wonderful pictures of the distillery Talisker if you want me to e-mail them to you? _________________ https://www.facebook.com/Let-the-drink-talk-675586225966432/ |

How come this distillery got a bit of a thumbs down as well but no-ones questioned it? I think someone maybe a distillery insider in another section |
