Famous Grouse experience


Just a short drive away from where we were wild camping was the Famous Grouse distillery tour, so along we went! We hadn't been to a whiskey distillery before so we learnt something new. It was a very good tour and it cost £10.00 each. The guide was very knowledgeable and very good. I have to say the taste testing part wasn't my favourite as straight whiskey burns the ole throat but nevertheless this is all part and parcel of a distillery tour.

The process


Largest bottle of whiskey - made for a Guinness world record




Glenturret is the single malt whiskey produced at this particular distillery


Towser the cat, who passed away in the 80's, also sat a world record for catching around 28,800 mice in his life time (I wouldn't have liked the job in counting them!)


The new cat Barley has his own entrance
