Overview
This whisky tour of Scotland not only allows you to sample some of our finest whiskies from three different regions, Lowland, Highland and Speyside but also to experience some of the beautiful Highland scenery on the way!
There are so many to choose from but we suggest doing no more than three distillery tours over the course of your scenic Speyside tour.
With this in mind, before you head out to the Highlands, you'll enjoy the highlights of Scotland's most eclectic city, Glasgow and all it has to offer. Then, we've given you ample time to enjoy the Scottish countryside filled with rustic charm and ancient history, and of course, whisky.
