Day 12: Aberlour

Back on the road we go.  We are heading to the town of Aberlour 3 1/2 hours away.   Aberlour is surrounded by distilleries, we have some tours planned and some bars on the agenda.  The drive sucks and we are pretty tired. We didn't sleep very well at the B&B in Portree. The bed sucked and Portree is kind of a dump. So there was a risk of being stabbed.  Luckily we are stab wound free. 

We made it to the town of Aberlour just in time for our Aberlour distillery tour. 

The history of the distillery was interesting, and the stills were incredible!

The tour guide informed us that it isn't smoke and mirrors and that all of their single malt is made here.  After thoroughly touring the area we went to the tasting room. 

They used to let customers bottle their own batch, but the man shut them down.   Even the Scottish Man sucks. 

We sampled six types of scotch, some of them straight from the cask so the alcohol content was around 60%. I like scotch, but good god. That was dangerous. 

After the tour we took a nap. In our car. Don't judge us. 

We grabbed some dinner at The Mash Tun, I made reservations three weeks ago. It paid off.  Good bar, good food, limited seating. 

I have been crossing my fingers that the B&B for this part of the trip would be awesome. It is. Trochelhill. We got here late, but it's beautiful and the beds don't suck. Also, the risk of stab wounds is very low. 

Cheers.
