Rare Port Power Posted January 16 #26 Share Posted January 16 46 minutes ago, iticlaudia said: During Covid the hubby and I like everyone else in the world watched many, many travel shows. One of my favorites (and I'm sure the ladies here would agree) was Men in Kilts. When I saw this British Isle itinerary it immediately made me think of that show. Of course, in the show they visit a distillery, which really is something the hubby would like to do. With all these ports can anyone suggest a fabulous distillery we could visit on our own? I've attached a picture of all the stops. BTW please don't bust my bubble by telling me that there aren't men like Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish running around in kilts! LOL!! A girl can dream! 😂 That is exactly the itinerary I want to do. Please give some details. (But I don’t like any sort of whiskey. Sorry.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A taxi from Stromness should take less than 30 minutes. Our cruise (on Seabourn Quest) stopped at Kirkwall, which is only slightly closer to the two distilleries. We visited both.

Golf courses are Scottish, not Scotch which is a sort of whisky. But not a single malt. Fletcher, we trust your travel advice, but your whisky knowledge is a tad lacking. Scotch whisky is a proper term for whisky made in Scotland. Scotch whisky can be a single malt, a blended malt, a blended whisky, or a single grain whisky. The photo below shows a Single Malt Scotch Whisky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
