CULINERY DELIGHTS AT BOWMORE BLAIR CASTLE HORSE TRIALS

Visitors to the Bowmore Blair Castle International Horse Trials and Country Fair, which take place at Blair Castle from Thursday 21st to Sunday 24th August, can look forward to a selection of culinary delights.

A Festival of Food marquee includes local produce such as a range of meats from Atholl Estates Farm Shop, and oatmeal and flour mixes from Blair Atholl Watermill. Other delicacies include hand-made luxury chocolates and fudge from the Sweet Nut Trader and olives and oil from Elanthy of Gloucestershire.

Heading the cookery demonstrations will be Jeremy Wares, chef at the award-winning 63 Tay Street Restaurant in Perth who will be entertaining spectators on Sunday afternoon.
63, which Jeremy co-owns with his wife Shona has won a host of awards including Les Routiers Scottish Restaurant of the Year in 2002. It has also been awarded four Scottish Tourist Board/taste of Scotland medallions for outstanding food service and ambience.

Before opening their own restaurant in 2001, Jeremy was chef at Kinfauns Castle and before that both he and Shona worked for celebrity chef, Nick Nairn.

Having whetted the taste-buds by perusing the food hall and cookery demonstrations, visitors might then be tempted to move on to the Bowmore Whisky Tasting Tent where they can sample Scotland’s number one selling Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky *.

Established in 1779, Bowmore Distillery is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland and the oldest distillery on Islay. Whisky enthusiasts can see for themselves why Bowmore is universally regarded as the 'best balanced' of all the Islay malts with wonderfully rich and complex flavours. Peat smoke and marine notes balance with a sweet, citrus, freshness to give Bowmore its distinctive taste.
