Visiting Skye

[andyroid20]

So im off up to skye soon. Obviously talisker is going to be my first port of call. As far as I can see though they dont do any tasting upgrades which is disappointing. Is that the case? Ive looked what else is nearby. Ben Nevis might be worth a look. Anywhere else anyone knows of?

Depends which way you are heading to Skye, I assume by car and heading up the west coast. Then you may be passing clse to Auchentoshan and Glengoyne near Glasgow and you could pay Oban a visit on the way up and as you say Ben Nevis.

I think Grant has pin-pointed them all if you are heading up the west coast. The only other West Highland distillery i can think of is Dalwhinnie but that isnt exactly on the way to Skye from Fort William it is more on the way to Speyside.

Thanks for the info. Dont think I'll be able to go to any on the journey up as im going up with the outlaws and im driving. So it will just have to be whats reasonable to drive to when im up there.

Talisker do a standard classic tour for £5 and they did offer a Talisker Tasting Tour option, this incudes a more indepth distillery tour where you get to taste 5 samples and it also includes a limited edition tasting glass. The tour is only run in the afternoon on selected days. Not sure if they are still runing the Talisker Tasting Tour which cost £15 (price may have gone up) but you could try contacting them in advance to see if you can book it.
