WHISKY MONTH – PUT IT ON YOUR EXPENSES
If you need to sharpen up your taste buds for professional reasons, what better way than to visit Scotland during its Whisky Month, and even better if you can put it on your expenses as a necessity.
Throughout the month of May Homecoming Scotland 2009 invites you to explore and appreciate the expertise of the stillsmen and master blenders whose diligence has created one of Scotland’s biggest exports and extensions of Scottish culture.
Kicking off the celebrations at the biggest ever Spirit of Speyside event from 1st – 10th May the Scotch Whisky Industry opens its doors to visitors and locals alike. From a tasting session at The Scotch Whisky Experience in Edinburgh, to a 3 day whisky course in Fife, there are a range of ways to sample Scotland’s national tipple.
Known as ‘Uisge Beatha’ in gaelic or ‘Water of Life’, the process of making whisky in Scotland can be Edittraced back hundreds of years and has evolved geographic distinctions owing to the origins of the environment and the characters of the distillers themselves.
The month long programme is currently being developed in association with the Whisky Industry and will conclude with Feis lle, Islay’s annual Malt and Music Festival. Look out too for the Spirit of the West event at Inveraray Castle between 16-17 May.
