Glengoyne Distillery

Spirit of Scotland Tasting Tour

Discover Scotland’s whisky heritage on a tour from Edinburgh. Visit Lindores Abbey, Deanston, and Glengoyne distilleries, enjoying tastings and learning about traditional whisky-making amidst scenic views and rich history.

Embark on an unforgettable whisky-tasting adventure, departing from the vibrant city of Edinburgh and journeying into the heart of Scotland’s distillery tradition.

Your first stop is the historic Lindores Abbey Distillery in Newburgh. Known as the “spiritual home of Scotch whisky,” this site is steeped in history, being one of the earliest places associated with whisky production. Explore the distillery’s dedication to reviving ancient practices while savouring a tasting of their distinctive single malts. Their innovative approach to whisky-making is deeply rooted in tradition, creating a perfect start to your whisky journey.

Next, travel to the charming Deanston Distillery, located near Doune. This converted cotton mill, set on the banks of the River Teith, is known for its sustainable practices and commitment to authenticity. Sample their famous un-chill-filtered whiskies, celebrated for their honeyed sweetness and smooth finish. The distillery tour provides a fascinating look into Deanston’s history and craftsmanship, making this an engaging stop for whisky enthusiasts.

Break for lunch in the quaint town of Callander, a gateway to the Trossachs National Park. Choose from a variety of dining options, whether you prefer hearty Scottish pub meals, fresh local seafood, or delectable bakery treats. Callander’s welcoming atmosphere and picturesque streets provide the perfect interlude.

After lunch, head to Glengoyne Distillery, nestled at the foot of the Highlands near Dumgoyne. Renowned for its unpeated single malts, Glengoyne offers an idyllic setting and a unique approach to whisky production. Witness their slow distillation process, which contributes to the rich, complex flavors in each sip. Enjoy a tasting of their finest offerings while soaking in the stunning scenery that surrounds this iconic distillery.

Return to Edinburgh

Conclude your whisky journey with a scenic drive back to Edinburgh, enriched by the day’s experiences of Scotland’s finest whiskies, scenic landscapes, and the warm hospitality of its distilleries.
