Open Day 2014

Next years Open Day will be held at Mitchell’s Glengyle Distillery. This is the year when our single malt turns 10 years old and we are planning a HUGE party that will last for days. There is talk of a Kilkerran Ceilidh, some amazing tastings, market stalls, live music, local food and ofcourse the main event – we’ll be revealing our six pack. The first six casks filled from the very first spirit run at Mitchell’s Glengyle were set aside to be bottled as 10 years olds. The six casks are of different wood types and were selected in conjunction with Willie Taylor at Broxburn Cooperage to ensure that the casks were of the finest quality prior to being filled. We’ve got a fresh Oloroso cask, fresh Fino cask, fresh Demerara cask, fresh Madeira, fresh Port cask and a fresh Bourbon cask. The Six pack set is limited to 700 of each wood type, all at 46% ABV. There will be a tasting on the day, trying all of these beauties.

Open Day 2013

This years Open Day was held at Springbank Distillery, and it was a great success! We had visitors from every corner of the world present. On the Wednesday night, 22nd May there was a very exclusive dinner held in the Kiln at Springbank. The dinner was hosted by Frank McHardy (Director of Production) and Gavin McLachlan (Distillery manager of Springbank and Mitchell’s Glengyle). Wine, champagne and very special whisky was drunk and a delicious meal with Scottish delicatessen was consumed. Everybody left the kiln with a smile on their face.

The Open day started at 11am on the 23rd of May, there was a market on the bottling hall carpark with local businesses displaying their goods, a beer tent serving Loch Fyne Ales and a special Brew called Fynebank, beer brewed using Springbank malted barley! We had live music, Alan Anderson (the Whisky Stand up comedian), tours of both distilleries and a huge BBQ.

On the Friday, for the brave, there was the annual golf competition at Machrihanish golfcourse. There were some sore heads, but the fresh air did them all the good!
