As you can see there some variation, then down the track there's the cost of bottling and finally the taxman wants his share.
Nah, you have to email them and they phone you back, give you a bit of a soft sell, answer any questions you have at the time then email you the price list back...then I suppose it's up to you.
Coming up on 20th September for 5 days. I have been looking online and so far they only seem to be open weekends. If you know of any that would be open would be grateful for any info. Thanks
I’m really surprised at that, the few I’ve checked out seem to be open in the week, often it’s the other way around in October they don’t open weekends. You may have to call them to confirm, and book at same time.
If anybody asks “ ‘Fit like?” just say “ Aye , nae bad”.
Thanks for your wonderful suggestions. We will certainly be visiting the seals,and maybe a dolphin watching trip. From what you are suggesting I think there will be a lot of extra calories returning to England! Will let you know how we get on. Thanks again @blueloonI’m really surprised at that, the few I’ve checked out seem to be open in the week, often it’s the other way around in October they don’t open weekends.

These appear to be open . I’d start with Cardhu, possibly the furthest from you but a nice drive up the Spey. They've had a lot of publicity in recent months after refurbishing and reopening their visitors centre , complete with statue of a female founder waving a red flag , as they did back then to warn of Exercise men.
Then the big ones seem to be open and do good tours, Glen Grant in Rothes probably nearest, Glenfiddich in Dufftown and Glenlivet a bit further out . If you’re heading out Rothes/ Craigellachie/ Dufftown direction it’s worth doing a tour of the Speyside Cooperage between Craigellachie and Dufftown, it’s a relatively short but great tour.
Locally, if you don’t want to go far , Fochabers is a nice village, Christie’s Garden centre one end, Gordon Castle and river Spey the other, award winning Fish and Chip shop, ice cream shop and village square. Cullen beach is our favourite place, park at beach , decent burger van and separate coffee place. East along the coast is Portsoy , Banff/ Macduff . West are Lossie (Lossiemouth ) and Findhorn . Buckie Tesco is your nearest “ big” store/ petrol , often with good whisky bargains . Seafield Arms Cullen is best/ most expensive restaurant locally, The Knowes in Macduff is good for lunch/ dinner, The Galley, Whitehills good for lunch if your heading East. Don’t forget to visit the Portgordon seals!
Bring jumpers and jackets and think 5deg cooler than down south, but usually dry , usually windy. You may have trouble with the local Doric dialect, but Portgordon has lots of incomers you’ll understand
No doubt you’ve got your own exploration plans, but if you’ve got any queries just PM me. Enjoy!
Yes. Flavor for days, with vanilla underneath it all, and just a couple of drops of water yield a different drink. The batches on the cask strength are a touch inconsistent. If you find one you really like, my advice would be to hoard it if you can, before it's gone. The ten year has always been inconsistent from bottle to bottle. You never know quite what you're getting, but the potential upside is massive and the downside risk is low. Ardbeg is more reliable, but doesn't offer the upside.
