Father and gift-giver will experience the most luxurious accommodations including: a stay at an invitation-only, private mansion with a full-service staff and world-class hospitality; privately prepared meals from one of Scotland’s most acclaimed chefs; a round of golf at the world-famous St. Andrew’s Links; first class air and helicopter transport; a bespoke kilt and a family crest consultation; as well as a butler to oversee that the pair receives impeccable service throughout their trip.
For the father who has shared his love of fishing, an appreciation of fine cars and great Scotch, this excursion will also offer two extraordinary opportunities. The gift recipient and guest will be treated to an intimate dinner with The Duke of Argyll at his home, Inveraray Castle — an experience that is truly priceless. After dining in the grandeur of the State Dining Room, guests will receive a VIP tour of the architecturally remarkable castle and its historical relics, which will include access to the formal gardens and tea with the Duke in the castle tearoom.
Guests will also have the ability to experience the art of blending with unrivaled intimacy by learning to create a customized blended Scotch whisky with guidance from Chivas Regal’s Master Blender, Colin Scott. Guests will have access to Chivas Brothers’ stocks, the largest and oldest in the world, including five days of specialized whisky tastings where guests will have the opportunity to sample never-before tasted whiskies.
“Both my father and grandfather worked in the whisky industry, so our relationships really developed over the craft of making Scotch,” says Colin Scott, Master Blender of Chivas Regal, who has been with Chivas Brothers for over thirty years. “I am greatly looking forward to sharing my long-standing traditions with our special guests for Father’s Day. A custom-blended whisky can be appreciated, not only for its rarity, but also to serve as a tangible memory of a truly special, never-to-be-repeated experience.”
The finale of the trip of a lifetime will occur upon the guests return home, with the receipt of their custom kilts and two bottles of the prestigious Chivas Regal 25-Year-Old Scotch Whisky, one of which will be presented in a special case designed by Viscount David Linley, son of Princess Margaret, and renowned designer — truly a befitting way to end the ultimate trip.
