What a great little place this is. Having sampled their wines at Good Food Show's past and…read morepresent, we had an inkling of how great this place would be. The guy and I, to top off our date night out in Dundee, ended up taking a tour of Cairn O'Mohr on our way back home to Glasgow. This winery is right between Perth and Dundee so perfect if you're in either city or even Glasgow. It was a gloomy day, perfect for being at the winery. Since we were early (note: I am notorious early everywhere), we decided to check out the cafe for something warm. We sat down and the owner came over and handed us menus. There was loads to choose from, plus fresh made soups to order as well. We ended up ordering the haggis and cheese toasty with two bowls of soup. We were feeling a little raw from our date night the night before, so this food was a perfect pick me up before the winery tour. Once we ate, we made our way to check in to the tour. With our tour we got a free bottle of wine/cider so we were given tickets to give to the tour guide once it started. The tour itself was awesome. The guide was friendly and funny and very mindful of the large group she was taking around the premises. She gave us a history of the family who started Cairn O'Mohr, told us how they expanded to more buildings once they started selling more product, we got a tour of the area where ciders and wines were being made and we got to see the bottling area and where they store the booze once it's ready to be bottled. Once the tour was over, we were taken to the sampling room and literally got about 10-15 samples each (non-acho for those of us driving) and it was amazing. I was driving so I was given non-alcho ciders they had which was great. Once we got back to the little shop, my guy and I ended up buying cider on top of the free bottle of red wine we bought to cook with. This really is a great day out, so if you're in the area or up for a wee adventure, I highly recommend this place.

This place is a Fruit Winery and during the summer you can tour it, all year round there is the…read moreshop and cafe, which are good, the whole place is quirky in a nice way with wooden logs with faces sculpted in them. There is also a play area for kids. If you are going between Perth and Dundee it is worth a wee stop to see it for yourself, plus there wine is very good. Take the turn off at the The Horn Restaurant.

I've been to several whisky tours/tastings in the USA, Canada, and Scotland. This was by far the…read morebest tour. Really fun. Very informative and interesting and their whisky is great. And they don't add color. Love that they would give you little bottles to take home your whisky if you didn't want to finish it during the tasting. It was a pretty generous tasting too. Loved how many we got to try. Amazing that such a big distillery is still family owned. The staff felt a bit like a family too (in a good way). Loved the stories and history and the world's smallest whisky storage warehouse. I know there are a lot of distilleries to choose from when you are touring Scotland and each has its own unique thing to offer, this is one you want to keep on your list though!

Third stop on my whiskey tour…read more  Only  one on the tour that is still family owned. We sampled a 10 year old and 15 year old  single malt. We visited one of the original warehouses and spent some time in their corporate space.  You can see the rails used to move the barrels to the warehouse.  Just outside the corporate hall is a cabinet of bottles dating back to 1950's. That was cool to see.  Posted with the bottles is a sheet displaying how much the each bottle cost now. One interesting fact the guide mentioned  was that they still use gas heating.  Only two other distillaries still use gas heating,  others use a steam coil.

Strathisla's distinction is that it's the oldest licensed distillery in Scotland, as well as the…read moreprettiest. Not surprising for a distillery this old, it has gone through good and bad times and changed hands. The Chivas Brothers purchased the distellery in 1950, and uses the whiskey it produced prominently in its blends. Hence today, it's marketed as "the spiritual home of Chivas" rather than its old brand. Across the street in a park, there's a well with the sign stating that it as the spring head for the water used by the distillery. The distillery is indeed photogenic, and we also did a blending class there. We learned of the major flavor compounds of a whiskey and then given our free rein to blend our own personal blends, which was kind of fun.

Strathisla, makers of Chivas, is within walking distance of the Keith Station. Makes for a great storefront photo. Upon arrival it was obvious that their staff has no issue taking care of their guests. Without a tour or tasting appointment we were lead to their barrel-shaped bar, just beyond the welcoming desk. We were able to do a small flight and taste a couple other whiskeys all while relaxed on a squashy couch. We even tried some of the bar snacks. My only lament was that, not being much of a Whisky aficionado, I didn't really care for their Scotch. However, if you're a fan of the brand you will not regret making a stop at this distillery.
