Whilst the band took a break, crews were entertained in the distillery courtyard by the Islay Gaelic Choir, singing hauntingly beautiful traditional songs unaccompanied by instruments in the puirt-a-beul or “mouth music” style of the Gaels.

The Classic Malts Distilleries

Discover the distilleries that the Cruise visits

............................................................

OBAN

Oban distillery, founded in 1794, is at the heart of Oban - the "Gateway to the Isles". Fine single malt whisky has been made here for over 200 years in one of the oldest licensed distilleries, its stills among the smallest in Scotland.

............................................................

TALISKER

Talisker is the home to a powerful malt of rare distinction. Here, lodged far from any neighbour in the small coast community of Carbost at the head of Loch Harport, is one of the finest yet most remote distilleries of all.

............................................................

LAGAVULIN

Lagavulin is the definitive Islay malt, from the ancestral home of the Lords of the Isles who long ago ruled much of what became Scotland
