Magical Scotland - A Weekend To Remember at Gleneagles

We stayed at the prestigious Gleneagles Hotel in the Scottish countryside, named the winner of the Art of Hospitality Award in 2023, as well as part of the new global ranking of the world's 50 best hotels in 2023.
 
We had the privilege of immersing ourselves in the world of whisky at an exclusive Dalmore workshop, hosted in the extraordinary wine cellar of Gleneagles. It was a rare opportunity to savour some of the rarest and most unique Dalmore expressions, including cask samples. Securing some selected casks for our members to acquire. The workshop was a deep dive into the artistry of whisky craftsmanship, where we explored the depths of flavour and richness that make Dalmore whiskies truly exceptional.
 
A memorable dinner at the Michelin-starred Andrew Fairlie restaurant followed, with each course carefully paired with wines from our Melchior reserve cellar. The evening ended in the Century Bar, leaving lasting memories.
 
Our journey continued to the historic Glenturret Distillery, owned by Silvio Denz of Lalique. We were treated to an exclusive private tour, where we delved into the fascinating art of whisky production. From the traditional copper stills to the meticulously selected casks, we witnessed the passion and expertise that goes into creating their exceptional whiskies. It was a chance to connect with the rich heritage and craftsmanship that define Glenturret.
 
We also enjoyed an exclusive Clay Target Shooting Lesson. We were in the expert hands of the Gleneagles Shooting School instructors, making it an inspiring and educational experience.
 
We bid farewell to Edinburgh's Michelin-star Timberyard marking the perfect end to our Scottish escapade.

 

Lewis C. DipWSET had the privilege of experiencing this extraordinary journey, and we're excited to have our story featured in partnership with Liquid Icons and Robb Report.
