We planned ahead when we visited the Oban distillery a while back.

Parked near the harbour, did the visit, had a look round town, had a meal, drove a few yards onto the ferry to Mull and straight to our hotel just up the road from Craignure.

Not my favourite Whisky if I'm honest, but I don't say no if offered.

Me too. I prefer the island whiskys from Islay and Talisker with a more peaty flavour. I do like Edradour which is sooo Toffee-ish. or just about anything really! I do like The Laird's from his cupboard in particular! (He is a generous man. )

Sorry, forgot to confirm, but we were of course in the (PF) S8.

I'll join the road trip but count me out for the whisky tasting - I shall savour that for the evening

….and given that it sounds like a few us have our "personal collection" of malts, I (for one…) could easily be persuaded to bring a few favourite bottles for a follow-up tasting back at base camp - when we don't need to worry about driving. What do others think?
