Frequently asked questions
- What are the best whisky regions to visit in Scotland?
- Speyside is the heartland of Scotch, home to Macallan, Glenfiddich, and Glenlivet. The Highlands offer Glen Ord, Dalwhinnie, and Clynelish. Islay is famous for peated whiskies from Ardbeg, Lagavulin, and Laphroaig. We cover all three on private tours.
- How many distilleries can you visit in a day?
- We typically recommend 2 to 3 distillery visits in a day for a relaxed pace with time to enjoy tastings, take in the scenery, and have a proper lunch. We can adjust based on your priorities.
- Can you buy whisky at the distilleries?
- Yes. Most distilleries have well-stocked shops with exclusive bottlings not available elsewhere. Your driver-guide can handle any purchases in the vehicle so you can continue tasting without worrying about carrying bottles.
- What is the difference between Speyside and Islay whisky tours?
- Speyside tours focus on smooth, complex malts with multiple distilleries close together – ideal for a day trip from Inverness. Islay tours feature bold, peated whiskies and require a ferry crossing, so 3 to 5 days is recommended.
- How much does a private whisky tour in Scotland cost?
- A single-day Speyside tour from Inverness typically starts from around £450 to £600 for the vehicle and driver-guide. Multi-day tours vary by duration and routing. Distillery entry and tastings are arranged separately.
