 You're gonna pay for your coffee today, but we thought we'd start off here. We just stopped off for a coffee, and it's possibly one of the best views I've ever seen in Scotland. Just look at that. Wow! We're on the Murray Firth, and we'll be at Hopeman golf club very soon, but for now, just taking that view. Not to be confused with Barbados. Wow! So welcome back to episode two, and the coffee is drunk, and we've just made our Mae'r gweithio'r 15 munud o'r ddechrau i'r Lossymouth, o'r Hwbman Golf Club. Rwy'n gweithio'r ddweud yma, mae'r ddweud yma, mae'r ddweud yn ddweud, mae'r ddweud. Mae'n gweithio'r ddweud. Ychydig yn ystod! Rwy'n gweld ddwy i'n ddweud y papau. Felly, dwi'n ddweud yn y bach. Mae'n gweld bogi. Mae'r ffaith yn y ddiwedd, 35-40mph. Mae'r gwymp yn Golf Club. Felly ymweld, gwypio'r cyfnod gyda'r hun. Felly, rydyn ni'n amlwg, iherwydd i chi'n gweld eich gwaith, mae'n cyfforiadol. Mae'n cyfforiadol. Mae'n dechrau i'r ddweud. Mae'n gweld bogi. Rydyn ni'n gweld trwy'r ddweud. 13 spewledd. We are way to the 7th tee. You know what happened on one and two. 3, 4, 5 and 6 are kind of played OK. Nothing major to report back as yet for a nice little par 3. I say little 178 yards. Another big question why is the white glove and why is it not carkey dream? I think I have a wardrobe malfunction. I am not sure what happened. I am not sure what happened. I am not sure what happened. Camouflaging the trees shortly. The wind is playing havoc. We are downwind playing 180. I am going to try a 7 iron. That is right on line for the flag. I don't know what is between us and the flag. That looks really good. It is done exactly what you would expect it to do. On this terrain it is landed short. It is bounced on and bounced on. Who knows, we will see when we get over those mini helix. 8 is a really nice golf hole. You play straight down and see the tee shot. A little bit down the left did not cut like I like it to. A bit of heath roll down left and right. We are not seeing full colour look really nice. My shot has been a lot more difficult than what I have got now. But again it is a green. It is a really tight narrow green from what I can see. Bunker left and right. Stonewall on the left. A type of hole that oozes a bit of character and a golf hole that I like. I will say that I have left my range finder on a buggy in Elgin golf club yesterday. I am trying to get that back. Right now I have no idea what yardage I am playing. You notice I get the excuse before I hit the shot. If the yardage is right it needs a bounce I think. Bounce. Oh no. Go on. Oh the wrong way. Come back. Come back. Do you know what it was? Probably the right yardage. Wind took it a little bit drifted off to the right. You can see the flags almost bent sideways. It has come off the camber into the green as opposed to going into the bunker. There you go. We will take that out. Ah, not quite. Seriously, to get that ball you want to duck under the flag. The wind has gone absolutely crazy if we are going to say. It is a ninth green. It is the first time that everything opens up and you get that full view of the Murray Firth. I think over the other side that is possibly done at kind of area. But wow, what a view for the back of nine. It is choppy out there though. The 11th hole, I do not know the yardage but I do know is with downwind and I think on a mean downwind because you are playing two ways. One way up against the wind you are almost full-fitting bogeying down here. You have got a chance of driving some greens because the ball is going for miles with the wind and then bounding for a long way. I love the look of this hole. It is tight as heck. There is helix all down the fairway. It is hard to stand up. Oh god. Turn a bit more. You have got the camera behind you should be able to pick that one up. It is heading for the bunker on the left which I do not know is a green side bunker. I can still see it bounding. I think that is where it is probably finished up is what looks like to be for me a green side bunker. My guess is that will be over 300 yards but it is a guess but the ball is going for miles one way and not so far the other. I think I will have to hold on to my hat because the wind has just gone crazy. A little bit ambitious with that drive scene at this green side bunker. 350 yards is far for so. We have probably got a good 300 down the wind. With all these helix around you need a bit of a lucky bounce to have got to where I did. I am not quite sure what the right shot is in this wind. I have got a lofted club and probably a bit of a mistake. These are firm bounce. And again. And again. And again. Do you know what? We will take that for birdie I think. Why the signature hole is the pre sack. I think that is the way you say it anyway and it is somewhere over here. You will see it as I do. And then we will worry about how we are going to play it. What an absolute. Oh wow what a view. What a golf hole. Here is our tee box but somehow we have got to get down there and that is so nice isn't it. Look at the water is so clear as well. I don't know what it plays about 150. They said it can play from pitching wedge to drive it depending on which way the wind is blowing well. We are definitely playing into it anyway. I don't know if it is going to be dry but we will work that one out now. Right we have decided five iron. I don't know. I can't persuade myself that it is anything more than a five iron but maybe I will be proving otherwise. And all the wind is again massively off the left hand side. That was nearly the hack on. Good catch right. I will play that as well as I could on. Sit. Oh jeez. I said the back it went long right over the flag. I played it a really controlled shot and it was way too long. I can see it. It hasn't gone in the course but it was over the flag. As I make my way down to the green on this 12 hole. It is time for a bit more whisky tasting and this time it is from a favourite distiller of mine. And perhaps my favourite whisky. It is back at Glenfarkwas. Taste a bit of whisky and then come back and see if I can make up and down on the back of 12. For the past 150 years the Grant family have made whisky and it is one of the few remaining family owned and managed distilleries in Scotland. Glenfarkwas translates to mean valley of the green grass and it has to be said the backdrop of the distillery is absolutely stunning. The guided tour is as much about the process as it is about the origins of the whisky and the proud heritage of the Grant family. I was always a huge fan of Glenfarkwas whisky but I now have an even greater appreciation and I hope this continues to be a truly Scottish whisky. Right that's me all spent up. We've got our whisky ready for tasting after the round but for now it's back to Hope and Golf Club. And then join me at the end and I'll tell you what I think of these three malt whiskeys from Glenfarkwas. I've got to say what an absolutely gorgeous golf ball. What you can't see from back there is that huge slope from the back end where I was playing from right to left and a big swing on that post. Right we're going to finish episode two right here on this stone wall which is a feature throughout the course to be honest with you. Adds to the character particularly on the back nine. We've got a little bit of seclusion from the wind of which we've had none. It's been blowing an absolute hoolly which to be honest with you. I like it adds to the challenge and certainly those from nine onwards when you reach that green. The views open up on there with your right throughout for the rest of the round and it's truly breathtaking. Some real kind of character around the golf course again which I thought was a real great feature. Loved every bit of it. Loved cull and skink in the clubhouse. That's certainly be something that I try again. So I hope you enjoyed episode two. We had a brief look at the visit to Glenfarklass. Now we're going to finish up with a bit of whisky tasting and I'll give you my opinion on a few of these bottles from Glenfarklass. And I'll see you again in episode three. Right okay so we've got to say that Hotman was good. Extremely windy. We've got a little bit more of a sheltered place for my whisky tasting and if you go back and have a look at that. If you're in that area the Glenfarklass tour as I've already said was really interesting. Very much more personable and about that family business which I find really interesting. But the other thing is Glenfarklass. I only discovered I think it was last year when we did a tour of East Lothian and Glenfarklass was introduced to me by Malcolm Duck at Duxing. I tried this 15 year old water bottle some months later and honestly it is so nice. But we'll start with it and have a quick and we'll try all three. I've got notice I've got the 21 and 25 and I can't wait to have a try of these to be honest with you. Do you know what the thing is about? We've been on two different tours and they all say the same thing. The people who take you around is that there's no right or wrong. It's about what you particularly like. I don't like something really really harsh. Quite soft. That bit of sweetness to it and that's exactly what that 15 year old Glenfarklass is. I think it's easy drinking. It's something like you say you can take a fairly big sip of that. Nothing too burning down the inside of your throat that you would sometimes associate with whiskey. Really really nice. We'll have a little sip of water before I change on to this 21 year old. And I'll always tuck the tops off as in the plastic seal. You can see I've not tried this at all. So it'll only be as we're doing a little taste. It'll only be a small little nip of it for now and then I'll try it a bit later. I'm really interested to see how much better or perhaps worse whether I like these older bottles of Glenfarklass. Oh my God. It's so nice you know. They're just again just a little. Not massively different but that bit smoother again. Almost you know. I mean again I've said on the previous videos that we've done. I'm no expert on this but almost honey like the way that goes down. Oh that is good. That is really nice. And what it is with liking these older bottles is they become obviously far more expensive to buy. So hence we've got these kind of I don't know what size of bottle that is but they're more than expensive enough for our whiskey tasting. But well worth it. Right last one and then we've got the end of this video and then we're back on the golf course again tomorrow. And episode three will come from Murray Golf Club. I think I hope I've got that right. The same colour. Am I right saying that? It seemed darker anyway. You tell me you can see better from that side. So quite an expensive malt whiskey and I'm hoping. Looks a little bit thicker around the what's being left on the glass. Again I don't know the technical terms of that. It smells delightful. Here we go anyway slanj. You know what's interesting about the older bottle is that it's again more smooth again. They each get gradually just that little bit smoother. But if anything it just lacks that little bit of a kick I think maybe. It's almost yeah I wouldn't say watered down that's not the way to describe it. But it's got less of a punch of the others too. And I think again with whiskey I don't know whether I'm expecting low on it's sweet and soft. I think I maybe just want a little bit soft for me maybe those other two. I'd certainly not turn my nose up to it. I'd take any of them. I've got to say that in discovering this whiskey last year it is so so nice. And if I'm honest with you from a price point I think the 15 year old is around a sort of 55 pound bottle of whiskey. Which is already getting plenty expensive enough. And for the differences I'd be more than happy to stick with that 15 year old to be honest with you. Anyway that's my as I say non expert opinion just my very very basic thought process I know I would choose. But yeah I think I'd stick with that 15 to be honest with you. Right like I said earlier on thank you for watching. I hope you've enjoyed this series so far. We've tried to include something a little bit different along the way with all these series that we've done. And whiskey golf seemed like the perfect match. Right I'll see you all next week. It'll be 6.30 Sunday for episode 3.
