About this tour
Explore three working distilleries across the Scottish Highlands on this private six-hour tour, learning how geography shapes flavour. Begin with a complimentary tour and tasting at Tomatin, then move to Singleton Glen Ord and either Glenmorangie or Balblair. You'll taste how each location produces distinctly different spirits, guided by someone who knows the region's whisky character inside out.
Highlights
- Three distillery visits with behind-the-scenes production insights
- Complimentary tasting at Tomatin to start

- Private tour tailored to your pace and interests

What to expect
You'll spend roughly two hours at each location. The first stop includes a formal tour of the distillery and your opening tasting. At subsequent venues, you'll see production methods firsthand—mashing, fermenting, distilling—before sampling spirits that reveal how Highland water sources and local traditions shape flavour profiles. Walking between buildings is involved but manageable. Expect to spend time in tasting rooms comparing notes with your guide, who'll explain why one dram tastes smoky whilst another carries orchard notes. Bring a notebook if you want to remember your preferences.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes; distilleries involve uneven floors and stairs. Pace your drinking—eating a solid breakfast and accepting water between tastings helps. Most distilleries close by early evening, so start early. Service animals are welcome. No special fitness level needed.
