Explore Scotland’s island distilleries and discover what makes whisky culture on Skye and Mull so unforgettable
In this Roundtrip episode, I revisit Scotland’s iconic whisky regions, diving into the rich, peaty world of Scotch whisky tasting on the Isle of Skye and Isle of Mull.
Join me as I reflect on my first solo tasting at Talisker Distillery, known for its maritime character and smoky single malts, and a nearly private experience at Tobermory Distillery, home of the bold and peated Ledaig 10 Year.
You'll learn how peat, salt air, and tradition shape the flavor of Scotch whisky, why adding a splash of water opens up a dram, and what makes visiting a Scottish distillery a must for any traveler.
Whether you're a whisky lover, a curious traveler, or planning your own trip to the Scottish Highlands and islands, this episode offers a personal look at what makes whisky culture in Scotland so unique.
This one’s for anyone who’s ever wanted to explore Scottish whisky, not through a guidebook, but through the lens of a traveler—complete with shopping finds, scenic stops, and the kind of storytelling best enjoyed with a dram in hand.
🎙️ Plus: tips for visitors, bottle recommendations, and how these island moments became some of my most unforgettable travel experiences.
