About this experience

This is a relaxing day out in a modern luxury van type vehicle with collection from Inverness/Aviemore areas including Airports and Rail Stations thereafter take a chilled drive down to the Speyside area and drive around the distilleries of your choice taking tastings of Whisky at your own pace. Lunch at your own discretion but can be factored in at choice of nice venues . Full Distillery tours may also be factored in subject to availability. The list of tours indicated in the itinerary list are only an indication of possible distillery stops please contact me via message tab to express which distilleries you would like to visit, a typical example can include 1 x distillery tours and three distillery tastings, Cruise Ship passengers need to be aware that this is very distant from Invergordon Cruise Ship terminal and as such should consider instead taking my Northern Delights Whiskey Tour which is much more local to the terminal
