Important to Know
**Consuming alcohol ** is not allowed during the duration of a tour itself.
During any 'Distillery Tour' you will be given a 'Tasting Set' at the end (just like people who attend a distillery tour who have been driving a car), but consuming alcohol is not allowed until our bikes have been returned to our Pitlochry hub, so keep this until after the tour where we can share a toast to a great bike experience! - Slange Var!
The distillery tours needs to be reserved separately and it is strongly recommended that you book your slots for these tour at least a week in advance during the summer months!
