Private whisky tours
Whisky tours from Inverness.
Two directions
Inverness is the gateway to the Highlands, and to two quite different whisky days.
Head east and, in around an hour and a quarter, you’re among the stills of Speyside. Head north and Glen Ord and Glenmorangie are closer still, with the firths for company on the way.
Either way, there’s no designated driver and no hire car to return. Your driver plans the route, waits while you tour and brings you back to your door.
Where to go
East or north.
East to Speyside
Around an hour and a quarter from Inverness lies the greatest concentration of malt whisky distilleries in the world. Benromach, in Forres, makes an easy first stop on the way.
- The Macallan, on the Easter Elchies estate
- Glenfiddich and The Balvenie, side by side in Dufftown
- Aberlour and Glenfarclas, in the shadow of Ben Rinnes
- The Glenlivet, high in its own glen
North to the firths
A shorter day out, with fewer miles and the Cromarty and Dornoch Firths along the way.
- Glen Ord, around half an hour away at Muir of Ord
- Glenmorangie, on the Dornoch Firth at Tain, under an hour north

Questions
Good to know.
How far is Speyside from Inverness?
Around an hour and a quarter by road to the heart of Speyside, around Aberlour and Dufftown. We plan the route so the drive is part of the day, with Benromach in Forres an easy stop on the way.
Which distilleries are closest to Inverness?
Glen Ord, around half an hour away at Muir of Ord, and Glenmorangie at Tain, a little under an hour north. Benromach in Forres is around half an hour east, on the way to Speyside.
Can you collect us from Inverness Airport?
Yes. We’ll meet you at arrivals and take you straight to your hotel or your first distillery. See airport transfers.
Can we visit Speyside and Glenmorangie on the same day?
It’s possible, but it means a lot of driving. We’d usually suggest one direction a day, or two days if you’d like to see both.
How do we book?
