Visit some of Scotland's most renowned distilleries with a sensory scientist The science of whisky: Scottish Hebrides Cruise 4 October 2022  | 8 days for £1,999* View tour A whisky lover’s dream cruise taking you deep into the science of how whisky is made and how different processes and stimuli affect its flavours, while touring renowned distilleries on the islands of Islay and Jura.  You will, of course, be sampling whisky, but in a science-led way that gives you an extensive understanding of how its compounds engage your senses, as well as allowing you to get the utmost enjoyment from your dram. You will explore whisky’s complexity and variety via a programme of sensory experiences delivered by accompanying expert, Professor Barry Smith, a founding director of University of London’s Centre for the Study of the Senses, who has also written and broadcast extensively on whisky. You will get to visit both traditional and state-of-the-art new distilleries – including Oban, Bruichladdich, Lagavulin, Ardbeg and Jura – while enjoying exclusive tours, talks and tastings from the distillery managers and master distillers. The recently recommissioned Ardnahoe and Cao Ila distilleries plus the Port Ellen maltings also await you.
