SUMMARY:In Search Of The Flying Haggis!
DESCRIPTION:In Search Of The Flying Haggis!\n\nThe Loch Ness monster\, Edinburgh Castle\, ‘hairy coos’ and whisky are all well known Scottish icons. One of the lesser known ones is the Flying Haggis. \n\nIn search of this elusive flying creature\, let us take you on a sensory journey through Scotland visiting six* whisky distilleries – yes six distilleries – along the way.\n\nIt’s rumoured these strange\, and some say mythical\, flying haggis creatures\, congregate where the sweet smell of malted barley and spirit vapours fill the air. Maybe there are no angels; maybe the loss from sleeping oak casks lies with the Flying Haggis? We’ll see if we can discover the truth – we’ve got plenty of drams to savour and many miles to travel on our armchair journey.\n\nLet us take you through deep glens\, past brooding lochs and swift\, tumbling rivers\, through hedgerows and fields\, ancient castles and stone ruins\, lush gardens\, steep munroes and bustling villages. Come with us to unravel the mystery\, enjoy some fabulous single cask malts and a delicious supper. You never know\, if we’re lucky\, we may even capture a Flying Haggis!\n\nFriday 10 September 2021\n6 for 6.30pm start\n\nUpstairs Function Room\nThe Gilbert Street Hotel\n88 Gilbert Street\nAdelaide SA 5000\n\nTickets $85 for members\, partners and their guests / $115 for non-members\n\nNB: All SMWS events are subject to change\, cancel or reschedule based on government advice for restrictions and lockdowns.
