A round of drams
Get ready for a charity whisky tasting Inverness won’t forget. The Kingsmills Hotel proudly teams up with two Scottish legends – whisky expert Hamish Malcolm, aka The Dram Caddy, and golf icon Sandy Lyle OBE – to host an exclusive whisky tasting in support of Highland Hospice.
This unforgettable evening blends the best of Scottish whisky and golf tradition. Taking place at the Kingsmills Hotel, it offers an intimate experience full of flavour, stories, and heartfelt giving.

Whisky, Golf, and Giving Back
The charity whisky tasting Inverness experience is relaxed and story-driven. Guests enjoy five unique whiskies, specially selected by Hamish Malcolm, alongside the personal anecdotes and charm of Sandy Lyle. Expect a night filled with great conversation, bold drams, and unforgettable moments.
Craig Ewan, Operations Director at the Kingsmills, says:
“Whisky and golf are both deeply rooted in Highland tradition. We’re thrilled to host this special night and support a cause so close to our hearts.”
What to Expect on the Night
- Welcome drinks including local beer and canapés.
- Five whisky tastings – from light Highland drams to powerful cask strength bottles.
- Cheese and charcuterie boards to complement the flavours.
- Golf stories and rare whisky insights from Sandy and Hamish.
Each dram tells a story. Some celebrate golf history, others highlight lesser-known distilleries. The finale? A rare 1980s bottle marking a major milestone in Sandy Lyle’s career. A true collector’s pour.
