About:
This is the ultimate all day guided driving tour for whisky lovers and people who want a real taste of the Highlands and Scottish countryside!
Being an accredited Scottish Whiskey Ambassador and having a diploma in whisky (who knew there was such a thing) I will share my whisky knowledge and stories with you on our journey and we may even stop for an extra dram or two on the way.
We will begin our adventure by heading across the Forth river and heading up to the Scottish Highlands where we will stop at our first Distillery which is the world famous Dalwhinnie Distillery, built in 1897. It is the highest working Distillery in Scotland and is located 1073 feet above sea level. It also has two great natural advantages; the pure cold mountain water and the rich peat reserves of the local hillsides.
For lunch we will stop at the famous House of Braur also known as the Harold’s of the highlands, this is also an ideal place to pick up gifts and mementos of Scotland to take home.
The second Distillery of the day is Blair Atholl which is the oldest working Distillery in Scotland and was founded in 1798.
Time allowing, we can also stop off at another distillery on the way back for a tasting.
We will then return through the Highlands and Scottish scenery to your Cruise ship or hotel.
