School of scotch

Today any decent bar will not do without Scotch whisky - the so loved (for the delicate and refined taste) Scottish alcohol drink. And in fact very few people remember, what exactly that this drink came to us from Scotland - a Mecca of whisky. About 9 whisky factories have been successfully established in Campbeltown on Islay Island. It is possible to get there from Glasgow and to have unforgettable days of “drunken cruise” and to get acquainted with the best grades of this wonderful drink.
This unusual 3-day’s travel passes under the direction of Captain Gordon Wright. The ship heads from port of city Glasgow and stops on coast of the island. The well-known Scotch whisky also is made in other regions of this island (Bunnahabhain, Caol Ila, Ardbeg, Lagavulin, Laphroaig, Port Ellen, Bowmore and Bruichladdich).
Of course, it is not necessary to agree on this cruise if you for any reasons abstain from alcohol. During 2 days the command of the ship, led by the captain, will treat you to various grades of whisky. In the first night (during the testing under the name “Global cruise with Islay”) the captain will tell about all nuances of whisky from each region of island and will offer to taste the drink. Trying this magic drink, you can simultaneously admire amazing landscapes of Scotland.
The second night will be passed on the coast. It is possible to drink some whisky till a dinner or supper, and after that - to go on studying of local territory with its numerous pubs and bars. However, you will taste the same sorts of whisky in other bars - do not go too far with a doze of alcohol as the third, most responsible night - “Double vertical testing” ahead is expected. During it 3 grades of whisky from one whisky factory are represented to show differences of flavoring qualities on a difference of ligneous and peat tones.
The ship, to a word, can brag not only excellent whisky, but also comfortable accommodation (cozy room-numbers with new furniture) and the affable, obliging stuff. All this pleasant trip will costs you about 895 pounds sterling (nearby $1800) per one person. However, so high price for 3 days of travel pays off with interest: everything, that is required from the visitor- is to reach Glasgow, and all other things are to be easily done by the perfectly well organized stuff.
