An exciting development with my Canadian trip is an opportunity to go on a whisky distillery tour.
After a year of writing about whisky many folks are surprised to learn that I’m a distillery tour ‘virgin’. Yup!
I received confirmation the tour is set up and they shared a wee list of ‘guidelines’… which sounded vaguely familiar to Inver House’s global marketing head Karen Walker’s fashion advice to Mumbai’s Whisky Ladies!
- Close-toed shoes
- No skirts
- No large pieces of jewelry
- Please bring your ID
- No photos are allowed on the tour
As for where we are going?
Let’s just say I’m proud to share that my first tour will be in my home province of Manitoba, Canada… and delighted to be hopping in the car for a little road trip from Winnipeg…
Those who haven’t figured it out yet don’t know their whisk(e)y!

You’ve beaten me to it! I’m still to visit a distillery so I’ll be interested to read your thoughts. I’m off to Scotland in a couple of weeks but no time to visit a distillery. I am however going to both the SMWS venues in Edinburgh so I might have to start a special page about that on my blog. I’ll visit the London club later this year. Have a great time! 🙂

They refer to it as a ‘plant’ and have a remarkable 1.5 million barrels… it was quite something! Naturally no photos permitted but was well worth going.
