Highland Whisky Tour
A private Highland whisky experience designed for those who value depth, access and impeccable attention to detail.
This is not a standard whisky tour. It is a privately guided journey through Scotland’s whisky heartland, shaped entirely around you and delivered with care, insight and genuine local knowledge. With years of industry experience and long established relationships across the Highlands and Speyside, I create whisky experiences that feel personal, unhurried and quietly exceptional.
Each bespoke itinerary is tailored to your tastes and interests, with the potential to visit renowned distilleries such as Glenmorangie, Balblair, Clynelish and Glen Ord, alongside lesser known gems including Dornoch Distillery and the Carnegie Whisky Cellars. Where time allows, we also incorporate Highland viewpoints, places of historical interest and opportunities to spot local wildlife, creating natural pauses in the day to enjoy a dram in memorable surroundings.
To preserve the quality of the experience, each tour is carefully planned around up to five outstanding stops. This ensures a relaxed, seamless flow and allows time to savour each visit properly rather than rushing from place to place.
You will travel in comfort and style in a luxury SUV for up to 3 guests, or a premium minibus for up to 8 guests. For groups of up to 7 guests, two knowledgeable guides can be provided, offering a deeper level of insight and hosting throughout the day. For larger private parties, a combined vehicle option allows us to accommodate up to 11 guests while maintaining the same high standard of service.
Every Highland Whisky Tour is private, thoughtfully curated and hosted with the same care and attention. Guests may choose from three levels of experience depending on how much organisation, access and exclusivity they desire.
Standard Private Tour
A flexible, beautifully designed private tour for guests who want their day shaped around their preferences, supported by expert local knowledge. Distillery tours and tastings are booked separately on a pay as you go basis, with clear guidance and advance planning support provided. Whisky from our personal collection is enjoyed along the way, adding a personal and distinctive touch to the day.
Curated Package
A fully organised whisky experience with all distillery admissions and tastings arranged in advance. This option is ideal for guests who want a smooth, effortless day with no decisions or payments to manage, simply arriving and enjoying a carefully structured itinerary with guaranteed high quality stops.
A standalone, highly exclusive whisky journey created for enthusiasts seeking rare access and exceptional depth. This experience may include specialist or premium distillery visits, private tastings hosted throughout the day featuring rare or limited bottlings, and access to distilleries not open to the public. Each Premium Experience is designed individually and offers a level of intimacy, insight and privilege rarely available to visitors.
The difference between each tier lies in the level of access, organisation and exclusivity, while the standard of service remains consistently high throughout.
Whether you are discovering iconic distilleries or exploring lesser known producers, every Highland Whisky Tour is curated with genuine passion and an uncompromising commitment to quality.
If there is a particular distillery, whisky style or experience you have in mind, I will be happy to advise on how best to incorporate it, or suggest alternatives that will elevate your day even further.
