About This Tour
This tour can be customised to take you to any of the Speyside Distilleries. We have listed 6 of the most popular but we can take you to any and assist you with tour bookings etc. We recommend that customers do one actual Distillery tour followed by tastings at 2 or 3 other Distilleries. A suggested itininerary is as follows. Leaving Inverness at 8am we travel down to Dufftown in the Heart of Speyside to arrive at the largest producing Distillery in Scotland - Glenfiddich for a Distillery tour and tasting , we then travel to Craigellachie to the Speyside Cooperage to see the skills of the Coopers before we have lunch at the Mash Tun in Aberlour. Following lunch we travel a short distance to Glenallachie Distillery for a tasting , this Distillery is still in private hands and their 12 year old won the best Scotch Whisky in 2025. Depending on whichever day the tour is we will stop at either Glenfarclas Distillery or Cardhu Distillery for our final tasting before travelling back.
