Unearth Five Top Distilleries on a Scottish Cruise from Inverness
A Scottish cruise offers ample opportunity for tasting Scotland`s finest
whiskys. Here are five distilleries to look out for near Inverness.
(firmenpresse) - If you choose a Scottish cruise for your holiday, there’s a good chance you’re a fan of
whisky. No journey in Scotland takes you far from a distillery and the good news is one of
the most popular cruising routes starts in Inverness, a place within easy reach of the
distinctive whisky region of the Highlands. The tipple produced here is usually full-bodied
with smokey notes that complement fruit cake flavours and a dried fruit finish.
On your Scottish cruise, you’re bound to have the chance to visit a distillery or two. Here are
some of the best ones, close to Inverness, to look out for.
Dalwhinnie
Honey, citrus and vanilla are the forward notes of the world-famous dram produced here.
Located at 355m above sea level, it is the country’s highest distillery. Stunning views over
the Cairngorms are the backdrop to your tasting tour, which covers the art of distilling as well
as plenty of tasting options. Chocolate is offered as a nibble, as it is deemed to be the
perfect accompaniment. There will be advice on whisky pairings and lots of opportunity to
ask questions too. Don’t leave without your free Dalwhinnie glass!
Glen Ord
There are several tours catering to all tastes offered at this interesting spot, famous for its
Singleton of Glen Ord. Recognised as the only producer of single malt in Black Isle, this
company exports its aged single malt to South Asia, so one of the few places in Europe you
can buy it is at the distillery itself. The other spirit made here is used in the Johnnie Walker
and Dewar’s blended tipples. Tours include samples, of course!
Cardhu
Another producer that makes a key spirit component of the Johnnie Walker blends, this one
also produces its own single malt. More than 100 years ago, a husband and wife team set
up the venture and Helen Cumming (the wife) is famous for distilling the first gallon of the
Cardhu tipple we know today. She is believed to be the only woman to have been the
innovation behind a Scottish malt whisky. Tours give you a fascinating insight into the unique
history and a tasting as well.
Tomatin
The spirit produced here is renowned for being soft and fruity. Much of the final liquid is used
for blends but they also make Talisman and Antiquary, which are both unique and full of
character. A tour here offers you the chance to bottle your own spirit straight from the cask.
Dallas Dhu
This distillery is a little different, as it ceased making whisky in 1983, after 84 years of
production. Today though, it is a museum that’s well worthy of a visit. An audio guide takes
you through the history of the golden liquor and covers its production, from steam powered
distillation to kiln dried barley over a peated fire. The tour culminates in a tasting, so you
won’t go home thirsty!
Scottish cruises offer a wonderfully relaxing way to explore some of the country’s most
beautiful scenery, historic towns and deep rooted culture. Book your Scottish cruise with a
reputable tour operator and you can rest assured that the practicalities will be taken care of,
leaving you free to enjoy the planning and look forward to the fabulous whisky you’ll get to
taste.
