We offer a private tour to the heart of whisky country. Visit any Whisky Distilleries you want, and an example itinerary is in the Tour Details. All are subject to availability and most distilleries require advance booking for a Guided Tasting Tour, but not for just a tasting.

On a Distillery Tasting Tour you will learn the secrets of how Scotland's most famous drink is crafted and then you have the opportunity to sample the beautiful offerings.

We can recommend which distilleries to visit if required, but wherever we take you, you know you can sit back and relax and let us do the driving.

Some of the most popular distilleries on Speyside are Macallan, Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, Aberlour, Glenfarclas, Ballindalloch, Balvenie and GlenAllachie.

We will book the internal guided tasting tours for you and invoice you separately via PayPal.

We will also book you in to a great local restaurant for lunch.

Option to include a Castle or Cooperage Tour.

    Instead of distillery you may wish to visit a castle. Dunnottar Castle is one of the most impressive ruined castles in Britain as is its location impregnably placed on a massive plinth of rock overlooking the sea. North East Scotland has many amazing castles and this in an example of one we may visit on your day out. Most castles in Aberdeenshire are free to see, but will charge for a private internal tour.
