Whisky for Breakfast – The Anniversary Brunch

Description

The title of this exceptional morning was deliberately chosen: “Whisky for Breakfast” is both the title of an album and a song by Robin Laing. The event bears this name in his honor and thus links his music, his passion for whisky, and his deep attachment to the Scottish whisky tradition. On Saturday, December 5, 2026, our anniversary weekend celebrating the 20th anniversary of the “Smallest Whisky Bar on Earth” will continue at the HighGlen distillery.
From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., a very Scottish anniversary brunch awaits you, featuring haggis and other typical breakfast specialties, all paired with traditional cooperage craftsmanship, literature, and the history of Scottish whisky. The presence of master cooper Gary Taylor from Speyside Cooperage in Scotland will be a highlight of the day. He will give on-site insights into the manufacturing and maintenance of barrels and will demonstrate his craft live.
The history of whisky will also be in the spotlight: Gunter Sommer will read excerpts from his novel dedicated to whisky, “Uisge Beatha – The Water of Life,” a crime novel tracing nearly 200 years of Scottish whisky history. Robin Laing, with his passion for whisky and Scottish whisky tradition, was a major inspiration for this book. As a souvenir, each guest will receive an original CD by Robin Laing.
