BEST Whisky Tour Ever! And Trains. [CC]

Dougal and I do a Whisky Tour with a difference. Inspired by the Malt Whisky Trail, we visit Glenfiddich in Dufftown, then take the Keith to Dufftown Heritage Railway to Keith where on an earlier visit I had visited the Strathisla distillery. A brilliant day out in Speyside!

Full disclosure: The distillery tours and visit to the Cooperage were arranged by the Malt Whisky Trail and provided by the companies visited for the magazine article that I am in the area to produce. A HUGE thank you to Eleanor at Malt Whisky Trail for arranging these.

The Malt Whisky Trail Website is a great resource to plan your Whisky Trip - check it out here: http://maltwhiskytrail.com

A great place to start is the Speyside Cooperage to watch the casks being made or refurbished: https://www.speysidecooperage.co.uk

In Dufftown we visited the Glenfiddich Distillery: https://www.glenfiddich.com

In Keith we visited the Strathisla Distillery where I heartily recommend the Blending Experience, which includes 5 premium whiskies, and the opportunity to blend your own 20cl bottle of whisky... sampling your blend as often as you like! It finishes with a another generous measure at the bar! All are available to take-away if you are driving: https://www.maltwhiskydistilleries.co...

PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY. You don't want to end up in the state of the fellow passengers we were sharing the outward train journey with... :-/

We had lunch in the Sidings Cafe:   / sidings-cafe-dufftown-1839775832972349
