Whisky and Chocolate Pairings with Handmade Chocolates from The Highland Chocolatier

Pairing great single malts with beautiful handmade chocolates is a fantastic way of introducing people who haven’t yet began their Scotch whisky journey. This tasting works really well where guests within the party are a mixture of guests who already seasoned whisky enthusiasts but also for those who haven’t experienced the amber nectar before.

A Very Special Whisky Tasting at Loch Lomond

daviddistilled Leave a comment

Whisky Tasting for the Scottish Football Association

I was absolutely delighted to by the Scottish Football Association to host a whisky tasting at a dinner at Boturich Castle on the banks of Loch Lomond in Scotland last week. Our guests had been attending the 138th International Football Association Board Conference at Cameron House on the other side of Loch Lomond as well as taking the time to attend a local football match, St. Mirren vs Aberdeen.

Delegates at the dinner at Boturich Castle where we hosted the whisky tasting were from all over the world. There representatives from the Scottish FA, English FA, Irish FA, Welsh FA, and along with Premier League referees. The event was attended by many famous faces from the football world. It was a pleasure to meet them and to host a whisky tasting for them.

Whisky Tasting Loch Lomond

During this very special event our guests were served a wonderful meal specially prepared in the Pavilion at Boturich Castle. The Pavilion is a recent addition to Boturich Castle and is perfect for wedding gatherings and corporate events. It is beautifully furnished and big enough for very large gatherings. Boturich Castle is superbly situated just outside Balloch on the A82. It is 45 minutes by car to Glasgow city centre and 30 minutes to Glasgow Airport.

At the tasting my guests enjoyed:

  • Talisker 10 year old single malt whisky 45.8%abv – served with haggis
  • Bunnahabhain 12 year old Islay single malt whisky 46.3%abv – served with chocolate pave
  • Caol Ila 13yo Islay single malt whisky bottled by Gordon and Macphail 43%abv
  • Glenfarclas 10 year old single malt whisky bottled for Master of Malt 55%abv

Loch Lomond Venues

We have worked at multiple venues on Loch Lomond. There are many choices that make the perfect venue for all sorts of events. Here are a selection of venues and links to their websites:

We would love to host a whisky tasting for you. I was Distillery Manager at Caol Ila Distillery on the Hebridean island of Islay so my tastings are as authentic as can be. Each of our bespoke tastings are designed to fit perfectly with your event whatever that may be. We are totally independent so we can serve and talk about any whiskies that either we or you like from around Scotland, and there are many fantastic drams to choose from.
