Exclamation Distillery Visit - Annual Meet 2014 - 'The Eightsome Reel'

Any visit to Scotland would not be the same without a visit to a Distillery. So, as part of the fun packed day we are organising, we are going to Oban Distillery. This will be in the middle of the road trip during a midday break in Oban. If you don't wish to do a tour of the distillery which is in the centre of town, you - or your better half - can look around the delights of Oban. In order to set up the tour, we have to provide numbers and payment up front.

The tour is 1 hour in duration and costs £7.50 per adult (no concessions for olde f@rts!!) and £3.75 child. The tour includes a tasting. (For those who want to keep it for later because they are driving, see Conan about rum issue, smuggling it past the jaunty, sippers, gulpers and "hands to bathe" - Naval jargon pre 1971) . The entry fee includes a £3 discount voucher off a full bottle in the shop.

So, firstly, I need to know who is interested and, secondly, extract an upfront payment (sorry). We need to do this as early as possible to get the tour timings we need, so could I ask those going to add their names below. As I am off abroad for a few weeks at the end of the month, The Laird has offered to act as treasurer. Details of how to make payment will follow shortly.

Wasn't there an age limit, David (lower, not upper!) and what's the definition of 'child'?

You're right Jim. A child is from 8-17yrs and an adult over 18.

I'm owed a few sippers for sure and probably a couple of gulpers, hopefully no hands to bathe, but was thinking of bringing the boat with me as 525 miles each way is a long way for a day so we're thinking of making a few days of it. Oh and i'll leave it to you professionals for smuggling past the jaunty and meet you in the carpark

You missed 'Sandy Bottoms' and 'Touch my Tot and you'll never touch anything again'!

Me + 1 please.

I also think a distillery visit in an 8 is cruel. I want to drive and I want to 'properly' taste the Water of Life!
