Private Whisky Tour and Tasting

About this activity

We'll head north from Inverness, over the Kessock and Cromarty bridges then take the high road to Millionaire's View. Beautiful vistas north, east and west over the Dornoch Firth and beyond.

Descending back to sea level we'll enjoy the Discovery Tour at BALBLAIR DISTILLERY, nestled on the southern shore of the Dornoch Firth, one of Scotland's best kept whisky secrets.

By way of contrast, we'll head just a few miles east along the firth to GLENMORANGIE DISTILLERY. We can take their Classic tour, or simply enjoy a dram or two in their tasting rooms.

A late lunch at the wonderful Platform 1864 restaurant / coffee shop in Tain then south west along the A9 to Tore. Heading west above the northern shore of the Beauly Firth to Muir of Ord, home of the GLEN ORD DISTILLERY and THE SINGLETON MALT. Here we can enjoy their Classic tour or simply sample some of their fine malts in the distillery's comfortable and contemporary tasting rooms.

1 or 2 distillery tours plus 1 or 2 tastings.
