Inverness, Scotland

10 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

This is a private tour for 1–7 guests. Solo travellers are welcome, with a 2-guest minimum charge. The more guests in your group, the lower the per-person price. Savings start from 3 guests, with the best value when all 7 seats are booked. Travel at your own pace, enjoy plenty of photo stops, and experience the Highlands without sharing your day with strangers.

Your tour includes admission to 1 available distillery tour from the options in our itinerary. We’ll then visit as many additional distilleries as time allows, where you can enjoy tastings at your own discretion or simply explore the grounds, shops and surroundings. Please avoid booking distillery tours independently, as fixed times can disrupt the itinerary; if you already have one booked, let us know in advance so we can adjust where possible.

Weather, opening hours, private events, or road conditions may occasionally require changes. If so, we'll provide an equally worthwhile alternative.

    The Macallan Distillery

    Macallan's reputation as a premium brand is due to several factors: limited production, the use of high-quality ingredients, and meticulous production methods. Their commitment to using exceptionally crafted oak casks, particularly sherry-seasoned casks, also plays a significant role in developing the whisky's unique flavor profile. Its popularity makes it highly in-demand. We can offer to book a tasting slot for you if they have availability, but please note that this must be requested at least 2-3 months before your tour date.
