Our guide for the whisky tasting was Mike Brisebois, the Brand Ambassador for Distell Group, the South African company that has a long history in wines and brandies and is now earning a global reputation for Scotch whiskies. Mike led us through the expressions from three of the company’s distilleries in: Bunnahabhain on the remote northern tip of Islay; Deanston in southwest Perthshire; and Tobermory on the Hebridean island of Mull.
