Scotland - Dallas Dhu Distillery

After visiting Fort George and grabbing a bite to eat (okay, I had a full Scottish breakfast so it was a bit more than a bite!) we drove a bit further east and visited the Dallas Dhu Distillery.  Although this is not a castle, it is one of the historic sites included in the Explorer's Pass.  In other words, free to visit if you purchase the pass ahead of time.  A great money saver!

Dallas Dhu is an historic distillery that produced single malt scotch whiskey for nearly 100 years, ending in 1983.  Since this is not an active distillery, you can take a tour and get right next to the equipment used to make scotch whiskey.  This was a very interesting tour that provided a ton of information on the scotch whiskey making process.  At the end of the tour there's the opportunity for a free scotch whiskey tasting.  You get to taste a scotch whiskey, that although is not produced at this distillery, is only sold at this distillery.  You cannot purchase it anywhere else in the world.  Naturally I purchased a bottle.  :-)

If you're travelling through this part of Scotland and are interesting in the scotch whiskey making experience, the Dallas Dhu Distillery is a must-see!
