WHISKY MASTERCLASS
FRIDAY 7th FEBRUARY
6:30PM-8:30PM
A tasting for true whisky lovers, we’ve invited Bruce Perry – a dram-drinking, whisky expert, consultant, specialist, a master of whisky who has worked with the best in the biz over his long and fascinating career – to host a not-to-be-missed masterclass at Vineyards. We’ll sip together, chat casks, dispel myths, explore modern day whisky drinking, and generally have a blast!
Bruce will be showcasing some very special whiskies with us on the evening, including the newly released, hot off the press, highly anticipated 12 y/o Mossburn Speyside blended malt scotch whisky, finished in Domaine Dupont Calvados casks.
Tickets £35 p/person which includes:
6 whiskies along the way including the different Torabhaig, Caisteal Chamuis and some Mossburn whiskies and 2 hours of fun and informative chat with Bruce.
ABOUT TORABHAIG
The Distillery at Torabhaig is the second ever licenced Single Malt Scotch Whisky distillery on the Isle of Skye. The Excise Act of 1823 first sanctioned legal whisky distilling in Scotland almost 200 years ago, with the first licence on Skye being granted not long thereafter, so one could say it was about time.
Single Malt Scotch Whisky is inextricably linked to its place of origin, perhaps more so than any other product. The water, the land, the climate, all play a role in the character of the whisky. All these factors are also vitally important in planning a new distillery. Simply put, you cannot just build a distillery anywhere.
Some time ago, we identified the old farmstead at Torabhaig as the perfect location for a small, traditional distillery. All the factors needed to make good, robust island whisky were in place, right down to the Allt Breacach and the Allt Gleann, the burns that feed us with the purest island spring water. We were also fortunate to start with a handsome, rugged building, rich in history and local lore.
