What To Expect

Cardhu Distillery

Departing in the morning from Inverness, we will travel east, dipping into the magnificent Cairngorms National Park, on our way to the first stop of our one-day whisky tour; Cardhu Distillery. Founded in 1824 by a whisky smuggler and his wife, this Speyside Distillery now plays a key part in Johnnie Walker blended whiskies, with the name Cardhu deriving from the words for “Black Rock” in Gaelic. Here, we will enjoy their “Nip Round” experience (optional extra) in which you will learn the history of the distillery, and get to select 2 whiskies to sample in a tutored tasting.

1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Not Included

Speyside Cooperage Visitor Centre

From Cardhu, we will continue to the fascinating Speyside Cooperage. This visitor centre gives you a glimpse into how traditional barrel makers work, with live demonstrations and a coopering exhibition. This allows you to learn more about such a key part of the whisky-making and storing process, which will surely make you enjoy your next dram even more!
