Whisky & distillery tours
Distillery tours, tailored.
Insiders
We pride ourselves on sharing our knowledge and experience with our guests as we tour the local distilleries. It’s the part of the day people remember.
Our sister company, I Fraser & Sons, has worked in many of Speyside’s distilleries and across Scotland, and continues to do so, giving us a valuable insight into each one.
Most of our drivers have worked in the distilling industry too. They have plenty of stories from their time in it, and a wealth of knowledge about the country you’ll travel through on the way.
Bespoke
Built around your dram.
Our tours can be tailored to suit each guest. We’ll work with you to create an itinerary for your time in Speyside, making sure we prioritise the distilleries you most want to visit and the scenic spots you’d like to stop at along the way.
- Famous names or small craft stills, in any combination
- Scenic stops and lunch recommendations en route
- Collection from your accommodation
- Taste freely: we do the driving
Planned for your date
Great names, small stills.
Alongside the well-known names, we can include smaller craft distilleries: a great chance to see how a small, manual distillery is run. Or watch the coopers at work at Speyside Cooperage.
Tour times and opening hours change through the year, so we plan each day individually around what’s open on your date.

Questions
Planning your tour.
How many distilleries can we visit in a day?
Two or three makes a comfortable day. Most tours take an hour or more, and we’d rather you enjoyed each one than rushed between them.
Do you arrange the distillery tours?
Yes. Tour times and opening hours change through the year, so we plan each day around what’s open on your date, book the tours and send you the itinerary to confirm.
Where do you collect from?
From your accommodation anywhere on Speyside, and from Inverness, Elgin, Aviemore and Inverness Airport. See whisky tours from Inverness.
Can we spread a tour over more than one day?
Yes. Two- and three-day tours let you see more of Speyside without rushing, and you can follow the Malt Whisky Trail at a gentler pace.
How many people can travel together?
Our Mercedes-Benz Vitos seat up to eight. Larger groups travel in more than one vehicle. See the fleet.
