What to expect
Your guide will collect you and drive into the Highlands, tailoring stops and distillery choices as the day unfolds. One distillery admission and tour is included; you'll taste their spirit alongside selections from a curated personal collection. Between formal tastings, you'll pull over at landscape vantage points to nose and sip whisky in the open air. Local snacks and water are provided. The pace is leisurely—this is about savouring rather than rushing. If you want to visit additional distilleries beyond the first, you can arrange this directly with each one.
Good to know
Lunch isn't included; plan ahead or bring supplies. Wear layers and waterproofs—Highland weather shifts quickly. The minimum age for whisky tasting is 18; younger passengers receive alcohol-free alternatives. Inform your guide of any preferences or dislikes before you depart.
