With a packed programme of events from 30th April to the 3rd of May 2004, you
will fully experience the famous
"Whisky
effect". The Festival reflects the rich
heritage of whisky-making which is an integral part of the lives of the Speyside
communities.
The Ancient Celts called the strong liquid they produced for
"uisge beatha" - "the water of life". During years
the Scots have perfected the way of distillation.
Smell and taste! On this festival you are going to meet all the Whisky
experts and they are keen to guide you around. Here you can get the
best advice how to drink "the water of life";
Whisky!
The valley which the river Spey floats through, is crowded with destillers.
Here you can experience Scotland's Malt Whisky Trail, and see the famous Scotch
Whisky distillers including Glenfiddich, Cardhu, Glenlivet and many more. You
can also visit the famous Johnstons cashmere centre.
For they who want more activity in addition to tasting Whisky, there is also
sailing and water sports, golf in Scotland, fishing, skiing and winter sports,
walking and cycling in Speyside and the Speyside Way, and see the famous Moray
Firth dolphins.
Why not try WHISKY GOLF? With liquid support, you will be an excellent
GOLFER too! Perhaps you hit the hole for once sake?
