Due to popular demand, International whisky guru and author Jim Murray will be leading a two night whisky tour, specially arranged by Arena Travel.

Whisky lovers from all over the world have the rare opportunity to join him on a two night tour of Arran which includes the whisky distillery at Lochranza, home of the award-winning Arran Single Malt whisky.

Jim Murray’s Whisky Tour presents a unique opportunity to witness whisky-making at its very best and will give guests an unparalleled opportunity to explore the specially selected distilleries, meet the men behind the labels and sample some truly rare and exclusive drams. Jim will be on hand, offering a personal insight into each distillery and the whisky they lovingly create.

The whisky trail starts in Glasgow before boarding a ferry to the Isle of Arran and the Arran Distillery in Lochranza. A new and dynamic force in Scotch whisky, the distillery started distilling in the 1990’s producing the first Arran malts in 150 years. After a tour of the facility and a special visit to its Bonded Warehouse, Jim will lead a tutored tasting of personally selected single malts.

The tour then moves back onto the Scottish mainland, where on your way back to Glasgow you will visit an additional distillery. You’ll find a full tour itinerary here.

Guests will be treated to luxurious accommodation at the Auchrannie House Hotel and Spa in the pretty coastal village of Glencoy on Arran. Jim will also host two dinners and will be on hand to share his knowledge with his fellow whisky enthusiasts at all key points during the tour.

The first ever Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible Tourof The Isle of Arran takes place on 19-21 September 2011 and costs £869 per person (twin share room) and £929 per person (single).
