KWA went to Campbeltown and Lowland

Only two (Campbeltown and Lowland) of the Scotch whisky regions left for KWA to visit so that´s what we decided to do in Eastertime 2016. Starting off from Kalmar in the dark hours of Easter Sunday night we reached Campbeltown in the southern parts of Scotland late in the evening that same day. So; rise and shine the next morning before a guided tour at Springbank and Glengyle. At noon we had a tasting at Cadenhead’s with host Frazer Milloy who guided us through a range of good whiskies such as Springbank, Longrow and Hazelburn. After a delicious lunch we continued with the “Warehouse Tasting” led by Mark Watt. This was a tasting we´ll never forget. Fantastic whiskies combined with a skilled and entertaining guide; a wonderful experience indeed! Before leaving Campbeltown the next day we spent a couple of hours at Glen Scotia with host Callum Frazer who kindly took his time for us on very short notice! Next stop would be Glasgow where we spent our first day almost entirely at Auchentoshan. And it was worth every second and every pound we spent there, especially when Mr. Stevie Deeley took us on a two hour long tour including a marvelous tasting. Just imagine how many excellent whiskies you could find around the world! Some of them we had at Auchentoshan. Our final destination was Edinburgh where we amongst other things visited Glenkinchie and the Scotch Whisky Experience (the world´s greatest collection of different whiskies). Nights we frequented the pubs and also tasted real Scottish haggis, delicious by the way. Going back to Sweden, we´re already planning the KWA journey of 2017. Tennessee! Or Tasmania? Or Japan? Or? You know the old saying: Good things come to those to can afford to wait! Sure, hope so!!
