I am so envious of you - as a whisky writer I have never visited Orkney, but that is something I hope to rectify next year. It just really appeals to me, not only for the distilleries but the landscape as it looks stunning!

Hi David, and thank you. A whisky writer of your standing should certainly have visited Orkney by now! The whisky is good - and remember, there's Wolfburn just across the Pentland Firth and so many more iconic distilleries up the A9 on the way to us. And, as you rightly said, the scenery and the landscape is exceptional. In all weathers. Let me know when you are coming...

Indeed! I have been to Wolfburn and lots of other distilleries all over Scotland and the isles. Just haven't made it to Orkney but it is high on my list. I think Highland Park are refurbing their distillery from March-June, so will try to come after that.
