Fly to whisky distilleries?

https://www.scotch-whisky.org.uk/discover/distillery-map/
Contact the organisation. I’d recommend hiring a car at your chosen airfields. Jura could be reached by ferry from Islay. Skye has a good airfield, unmanned. Campbelltown, Dundee, Fife, Cumbernauld and Perth for more southern distilleries.

@Buckerfan you’re not serious? Cotswold whisky (although local to me) is appalling. The guy started selling the stuff at 3 years old, and I’m afraid its dreadful.

Graham, I am deadly serious! But then I would be, I am co-founder of the business alongside our CEO Dan Szor!

While I respect your opinion of course, just take a look at the reviews on Amazon for example – 81% five star. Multiple platinum and gold awards. We sell this whisky to discerning sconsumers in over 40 countries around the world, from Japan and Australia, to the US and Canada and all over Europe

A visit to Cotswolds Distillery will tell you how good whisky is really made, unlike the usual phony Scottish tours where some pimply youth will drone on “its all about the water from our moors” (the water has nothing to do with it, it goes through distillation for god’s sake).

Our whisky is superb at a younger age because of all the expensive things we do, which the Scots don’t. To name three:

  • extra long fermentation (96 hours) – creates loads of fruity esters
  • narrow distillation cut points – eliminates heavier ‘oily’ components
  • use of ‘reactivated’ (shaved, toasted and recharred) red wine casks

Cotswolds is a great example of the new generation of “world whisky” revolutionaries who are shaking things up. Please do come and visit!

There’s also a Welsh single malt and a Japanese single malt.🙂

Some very good whisky from Japan, but by GA, that’s a tad longer than Scotland, especially avoiding overflying Russia! That would make for an interesting trip report of course :-)

ENVA, Norway

The only whisky I know is Grand Marnier and it tastes great in a hot chocolate

Not taking the piss at all.

Single Malt Whiskies are made all over the world, not just in Scotland. Everywhere from Japan, Taiwan and Tasmania, to the US, France and now England. The definition of a ‘single malt’ is that the spirit is made in one place/distillery. IE unlike say Johnny Walker which is blend of whiskies from multiple distilleries.

By law, ’Scotch" can only be made in Scotland. But single malts can be made anywhere.

Like I said, there is a revolution taking place in the world of whisky/whiskey.

There are some interesting non Scotch whiskies :

The French one in the CDG AF lounge is terrible (Belleview?Bel-something!!)… but there is one from Bordeaux (Harbour Moon) that is pretty good.
A friend introduced me to a Belgian one that I thought was very good, but can’t remember what it was called.
The couple of Japanese ones I tried were not memorable.
