Richard Paterson master blender extraodinaire… made the trip to Campbeltown recently to help Flora Grant and Marion MacKinnon of The Ardsheil Hotel celebrate the upgrading of the Ardshiel Whisky Bar, which apparently has been the talk of the town. Richard provided a master class to over 120 local Campbeltown people who have impressed with the new look whisky bar, and the whiskies on display. In fact there are now whisky cabinets throughout the hotel showcasing collectable Whiskies and new Whiskies, some of which are available to purchase by the bottle and/or by measure from the bar.
Richard hosted his master class with further tastings of Dalmore Cromerty, Dalmore King Alexander III and Shackleton’s Nimrod Expedition to Antarctica in 1907. He was joined by Frank McHardy from Springbank. Frank provided a Tasting of The new Springbank Rundlets and Kilderkins.
As well as a new-look whisky bar, Ardsheil now has its own Whisky Club, with a further club set to start shortly. The enterprising duo have certainly put Ardsheil on the map since they took it over in 2010.
