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.

The Pinnacle of Hosts !

5.00Malcom, our host greeted us with a huge smile & abundance of patience as he had to wait on our delayed train. He took us immediately for coffee & muffins before starting our journey. He set us up for tours & tastings at 2 Scotch distilleries. My husband, an avid Scotch fan was in heaven. His smile from start to finish was most rewarding for me. Malcolm arranged an impeccable lunch with absolutely some of the best food ever. We also made a delightful stop at Walkers shortbread factory. Malcolm was the pinnacle of hosts. You are sure to enjoy whatever activities you plan with him.
Simply the best!

5.00Malcolm was the best guide we have experience! He arranged a private, Speyside Scotch tasting trip for us off of our Viking cruise. He was there waiting for us when we got off the ship and drove us to Speyside where we toured Glenfarclas and Aberlour distilleries and had lunch at a wonderful restaurant, the Mash Tun. Along the way, he stopped so we could get some coffee at a wonderful little place in Aberdeen. After the Speyside tour, he drove us to Dunnottar Castle for a quick look around, then got us back to the ship with plenty of time to spare! He regaled us with the sights along the way and great stories of Scottish history - and even gave us a bunch of tips for an upcoming trip to Scotland in September! All in all, a fantastic experience! Thanks for everything, Malcolm!
Great Experience

5.00Malcolm was an amazing tour guide. He set up a great itinerary for us, including an awesome lunch stop at the Mash Tun. The food was incredible.
Let's go to Macallan Distillery!

5.00This is a luxury that Macallan lovers will not be able to resist. It is expensive at 175 pounds per person, but it is a tasting of three different malt whiskies. The lunch was also excellent French cuisine.
