Three of the CLASSIC MALTS coastal distilleries, OBAN, TALISKER and LAGAVULIN, play host to you during the Cruise. The dram you enjoy before or after touring each of them will taste all the better for being sampled just where it was distilled. Nothing prepares you for the full impact of an island malt like an adventurous sea voyage to its very source!

Single malt whisky is the product of just one distillery and each consequently has a unique character influenced by factors such as the size and shape of the copper stills, the peatiness of the malt, the cask wood used to mature the whisky, even the local climate. Then, as the craftsmen at each distillery will happily tell you, there’s the way in which they do the distilling.
