Extended Distillery Discovery tour

Discover Scotland's greatest export as you sample a variety of distinctive whiskies, each distilled within its unique landscape. Scotch is made from only 3 ingredients (malted barley, water and yeast) yet this tour will uncover the unlimited complexity of smell and taste unique to each distillery. From those that set fire to the heart, to those whose aromas transport you to far-off lands and memories. By taking more than a day we can venture to any mainland distillery, for tours longer than three days, we can reach any of the island distilleries. Ranging from the Viking heritage of Highland Park on Orkney, to the shoreside remoteness of Talisker on Skye, or the nine distilleries isolated offshore on Islay, and those on the outskirts of Edinburgh and Glasgow, we will visit the ones you choose. Just like the whiskies themselves, distillery tastings vary markedly, and this tour can incorporate a few select distilleries in great detail, or nip into several each day to maximise the variety you experience.

Our journey is as bespoke as your taste buds as we venture into the landscape that produces Scotland's pristine spirit. If you have a favourite whisky we will head to the distillery that produces it. If you don't, or are new to whisky, and would like to sample the breadth of flavours, I will create a bespoke tour to tickle the taste buds, from the peat and smoke of the islands, to the mellow sherried whiskies of Speyside. Accommodation recommendations ensure your hospitality matches the wonders of the whisky and scenery. Between distilleries, I highlight the magic of Scotland including religious ruins, mighty medieval fortresses and captivating castles explaining the geology and history of my beloved homeland. I interpret the dramatic landscape so you can fully appreciate and immerse yourself in the adventure of Scotland. A member of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society I can also introduce you to the delights of single-cask whiskies at their venues in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
