The weather was glorious and sunny, with cloudless blue skies, so we did our whisky tasting session on the balcony of the new visitor centre, which I hear is a big improvement on the old one. The distillery itself has gotten a refresh thanks to new owners Distel, adopting the white painted-walls and bold black lettering as the Kildalton distilleries, and has a glorious view of the Sound of Islay and Paps of Jura across the bay. David in the distillery shop is a knowledgable chap and can sort you out for any of their very wide range of small batch, hand-filled, distillery exclusive bottlings, both peated and unpeated, with a broad range of creative cask finishes, six of which we got to sample during our tasting.

Didn't know anything about the whisky, but I wanted to try it. I did the warehouse no. 9 tasting, highly recommend. It was a great experience and the staff were friendly and personable. Great location, great whisky!

This was the best visit . David’s presentation and knowledge, ease of delivery, obvious passion for the topic and generosity of spirit made it a tasting to remember and treasure. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart. The rest of the team were friendly and had time. I took the miniature and glass to a quiet spot in Islay later and toasted my dad who passed away very recently. Thankyou.

Trencín Castle

Trenčín Castle is relatively large renovated castle, towering on a steep limestone cliff directly above the city of Trenčín. It is a dominant feature not only of Trenčín, but also of the entire Považie region. The castle is a national monument.

History of the castle cliff dates back to the Roman Empire, what is proved by the inscription on the castle cliff proclaiming the victory of Roman legion against Germans in the year 179.

Today’s castle was probably built on the hill-fort. The first proven building on the hill was the Great Moravian rotunda from the 9th century and later there was a stone residential tower, which served to protect the Kingdom of Hungary and the western border. In the late 13th century the castle became a property of Palatine Matúš Csák, who became Mr. of Váh and Tatras.

Matúš Csák of Trenčín built a tower, still known as Matthew’s, which is a dominant determinant of the whole building.
