Before you get here you should ensure that you know our whisky has no 'e' - that's the Irish, American, Canadian and Japanese stuff.... ours is whisky!!! 
It's one of my husband's favourite pastimes - visiting whisky disilleries - amongst his favourites are Strathisla, Highland Park (Orkney) and Bowmore (Islay).

We also make Whisky in Canada - Glen Breton made in Glenora, Cape Breton. I have visited both the Oban Whisky distillery and Jack Daniels in Tennessee. I completely enjoyed both tours, although I must admit I like Oban better (the whisky, not the distillery). Bowmore is my favourite malt - although I like all of the Islay whiskies -I have a bottle of Laphroig in my cupboard just now.
I am none too fond of the rye whiskey that is so popular here - I prefer the bourbon the Americans make. Neither can compare to the heavenly nectar that comes from Islay.
