Scotland north east coast tour, whiskey 4/4

 


Glenallachie distillery tour


 

It is so hard to book distillery tours, every interesting and famous ones are fully booked a few months in advance.

 

Managed to get in this one with a last minute cancellation. Glenallachie, small group of 12, with a very dedicated guide who is lively in her explanations, learned a lot.

At the end the Speyside holiday, booked a tasting menu pairing single malt whiskeys with the meal, and worked well!

 

In between dishes, talked to the super knowledgeable whiskey barman and learned a lot about the style and strategies of different distilleries.

 

The welcome drink is made with 100% chocolate malt, a dark roasted germinated barley, with such an indescribable rich flavour and mildly sweet, I would love to have one every day!
