Experience - a musical journey of discovery around the Classic Malts of Scotland - Talisker, Glenkinchie, Cragganmore, Lagavulin, Oban and Dalwhinnie.
In the Summer of 2000, John Saich was commissioned to write six individual pieces of music for the Classic Malts, a collection of whiskies from Scotland's six distillery regions unique in taste and tradition. With the assistance of the distillery managers and staff, John took a journey across the country to find what makes each malt so special, and to translate some of those impressions into music. The tracks form a personal diary of the trip, brought to life with guest performances by three of Scotland's finest musicians, Brian McAlpine, Gavin Marwick and Rod Paul.

Having toured the world from the Middle East to America, Australia, Japan and Brazil, this long association achieved platinum, gold and silver discs for two of their best selling albums. John contributed many songs to the band's releases over the years, with tracks such as 'Four Stone Walls' and 'Outlaws' featuring on the 'Best of Capercaillie' collection in 1998.
