We arrive early for our tour. For the first time, we must
arrive at an appointed time, and being on an island and travelling in the
morning we have no concept of the area’s rush hour or whether we get stuck
behind a caravan or tractor. None of this happens, and consequently we arrive half
an hour early. We take in the view of Loch Harport and bask in the smell of the
distillery before it opens its doors. We check into our tour and are invited to
lounge in the bar area, which just looks just like a regular bar only darker
with extra polished wood. We’re also given a rather deluxe pin badge. As well
as merchandise and historical exhibits on display, there’s also bottles of
whisky on display, some of which have aged over 40 years and fetch up to
£4,500. Then our tour commences and our guide invites us to venture into an
adjacent building and climb the stairs to the malthouse.
