This activity will end right where it started.
Make your way to a meeting point in Inverness city center, then board a top of the range, 16-seat Mercedes mini-coach for the trip to Benromach Distillery. Join a tour of the distillery, whose Scotch is made with spring water from the nearby Chapelton Springs, and follow the traditional distilling process from start to finish—with the option for a whisky tasting (distillery tour own expense).

The next stop of the day is Elgin, where you can break for lunch and enjoy time to explore Elgin Cathedral and the town’s destination-worthy whisky shop.

Meet back up with the group and travel to Glenfiddich Distillery, a family-owned operation with award-winning single malt and a gorgeous setting in the hills. Upon arrival, you may join the distillery tour or head to nearby Balvenie Castle, whose 12th-century ruins are surrounded by thick forest (distillery tour and castle own expense).

This full-day tour concludes at the original departure point.

There’s no way to adequately describe how amazing, and unique, this tour was. I was the only person (out of 16 people) that booked for the day - so the company curated a personified, private tour to my preferences! I was here for whisky, so my guide Matthew took me to three distilleries in Speyside. AMAZING day. AMAZING guide. And AMAZING service! (As I left a bag in the vehicle that they promptly returned with gratitude the next day. Can’t wait to come back and use their services again!

Speyside is possibly the most relaxing part of the Highlands, and so was this tour. No rush, just an enjoyable trip around some beautiful places (on a day blessed by a shining sun) and a good amount of tastings of great whiskys. I appreciated the chance to stop by hidden gems of this country and to enjoy the hospitality of two great distilleries. Our guide, Helen, was knowledgeable and entertaining. She also had an interesting playlist of charming songs, although I probably was alone in my extreme appreciation for the Proclaimers. A must, if you want to mix some whisky tasting with beautiful landscape and very personal tour experience.
