I have toured a few micro distilleries, would love to tour some larger ones, as well.

Of all the ones I’ve done Glenmorangie’s is the best.

So here's a surprising one. Not a fan of JD, and tried a few of the premium range, Gentleman Jack etc but they've never done it for me. But I've got no US in so I mooch in the Asda for a bottle and see this:



This 150th anniversary edition is 3% over the regular and I dunno what else they've done with it but there's a bolder, slightly smokey spiciness to it and a bit of a burn rather than their usual over sweet flavour.

£15 a bottle. Well worth a punt.

I’ve got about 30 distilleries within travelling distance, the one I take visitors too is Glenfiddich and combine it with a visit to the Speyside Coperage, 5 miles from Dufftown where Glenfiddich is. But really just about every distillery open to the public makes a decent effort with Visitors Centres these days. Those with a malting floor on site add something different, but there aren’t many these days - Highland Park on Orkney is one but pretty remote for most people.

Don't Balvenie do their own malting?

They do, and are all very close to each other. I have a very nice weekend in the area every year that I remember almost nothing about.

Not one I’ve visted, but I’ve got cousins coming from Australia and Liverpool in August, we’ve done Glenfiddich, Glen Grant and Strathisla with them on previous visits, Balvenie would make a nice addition.

Back in the day,1999 - 2000, the lad, acting on information received as they say, bid on a box of stuff at the auctions. Paid $25 for what turned out to be 12 bottles of used / half / quarter bottles of spirits.
Today he was cleaning out the garage to fit more crap in, he found a bottle of Lagavulin 16yo with an inch and a half still in it.
There you go, don't say I never give you anything, you have it, I'd only put coke in it...I blame his mother.
So that's 16 + 18 + however long it was on the bar before they went bust.
Just made two drinks out of it.
I can only say WOW.
Trouble is I have nothing to compare it to.

Do the Laphroaig tour, enrol as a Friend of Laphroaig and you get your own square foot of distillery turf, a birthday e - card, and discount.
This you easily agree to after you've done your sampling.

Oh it's in the stash already my friend. I can't get that site to open, I'm guessing it costs a few bob in the Antipodes?
