We attended a winter whiskey tasting, and the castle was beautifully festive! Walking up the driveway to the front door, we were greeted by our evening’s host performing beautiful bagpipe music. Very interesting glimpse into history here, and the docents provided lots of additional context for what we were seeing.
We very much enjoyed spending the first hour exploring the rooms and antiquities, then nibbling on the “heavy appetizers” provided. It was enough of a proper meal for me, with pork sandwiches, potato salad, fruits and desserts. The whiskies were eclectic and had interesting stories behind them. It was a date night well worth the ticket price and we’d like to come back during the day to fully appreciate the castle grounds.
