Thanks for your comment Brett. Sometimes you get a little something that is usually the cost of the tour but they are still often pricier than the shops. Examply Talisker in Portree Co-op was £24.99 one year but £32 in the distillery shop.

Isn’t that just typical? Whether it’s a distillery, Napa vineyard, or an art museum gift shop, they act like concessionaires at movie theaters. While sub-retail pricing would be a great incentive to draw people to the place for a visit, most of the time, it feels like they’re trying to offset the extra cost of staffing the tours.

I think the bus idea is great. Too often I have had to drive so sampling is pretty limited to a smell and a touch of the tongue. Norah gets to finish off what I leave.

Thanks Lisa Marie

AS an update to this you can actually get Kavalan from the Whisky Exchange and the standard whisky is not too badly priced either.

I went on a crazy bus tour of the lochs beginning with a visit to a distillery for samples. We all enjoyed them even though it was 830 in the morning. The added spirits afforded us Nessy finding assistance.

It certainly is, but ironically the prices in the visitor centres are usually more than those in the shops!

Just finished reading a book by Ian Banks called "The Perfect Dram" a bit of travelogue, a bit of his life story and a lot about whisky. He tried to find a moonshine distillery in Scotland but had no success, although he is sure that there must be one out there somewhere.

Thanks Tim. May be a while before we get to try it but I am sure the wait will be worthwhile.

Out of curiosity, have you ever tried Kavalan whiskey? It is made in Taiwan but managed to win number 3 whiskey in the world award in its 3rd or 4th year, quite impressive..don’t tell the Scots
