See the whole process, with the help of Highland Park distillery, from peatcutting at Hobbister to where the malt’s dried over peat fires at the distillery itself. Hear more about the peat and its origins from Dr Chris Marshall of the Environmental Research Institute of UHI North, West and Hebrides, and about its effect on flavour from Dr Barry Harrison of the Scotch Whisky Research Institute.

Over-18s only, with numbers limited to 12 and booking essential: tickets £15. Meet at 9.00 am prompt at the car park outside the distillery to start with the minibus drive to Hobbister.
