Overview

Enjoy the best of Speyside distilleries such as Glenlivet and Glenfiddich along with a trip into the wilderness of the Cairngorms, where you experience breathtaking scenery and the feeling of isolation, on this two-day whisky tour in Scotland.

Starting from Edinburgh, you'll venture out to get a true taste of the Highlands, in the true sense of the word! You'll sample some of the Highlands finest whisky, both well-known and not while learning about the process and the tasting notes that give each distillery their defining character.

When you're not learning about whisky, you'll have plenty of time to breathe in the crisp Scottish air and take in the spectacular scenery we are famous for!
