Our Whisky Tour from Inverness has been carefully crafted to give malt whisky fans an interesting and insightful introduction to the Highland and Speyside whisky regions.
The Whisky Bus departs from Inverness at 8.15am, when we will embark on a 10-hour whisky-fuelled adventure to the following Highland and Speyside whisky establishments;
1. Glen Moray Distillery
Our first stop is at Glen Moray Distillery where, since 1897, they have used a variety of distinct casks to mature their whisky. Here you will be treated to an in-depth tour, which will give you a great foundation for the day ahead, followed by a tutored tasting of three drams.
2. Speyside Cooperage
At the Speyside Cooperage, the only working cooperage in Scotland, highly skilled coopers are still using traditional skills to restore and repair casks. Here we will be treated to a 4D audio-visual presentation, before heading to the viewing gallery to admire the coopers at work. Don't underestimate how impressive this place it - it truly is a highlight of the day!
3. Glenfarclas Distillery
Our next stop is Glenfarclas Distillery, one of the few family-owned distilleries in Scotland, and a favourite of our customers due to its relaxed ambience and unique history. Here we will hear a bit about the distillery, whilst enjoying a dram in the unique surroundings of their bonded warehouse. After that we will head inside, where you will enjoy a second tasting of this traditional Speyside malt in the luxurious surroundings of The Ship’s Room.
4. Tomatin Distillery
Our final stop is at Tomatin Distillery, where whisky production is thought to have been a way of life since as far back as the fifteenth century. Here you will be taken on a one hour distillery tour, which includes the unique opportunity to venture inside of a mash tun. After the tour you will be encouraged to “ experience the softer side of the Highlands” with tutored tastings of three specially selected drams.
Upon your return to Inverness at around 6pm, there are many excellent pubs within a few minutes’ walk of the bus station, so you may well find that some of your fellow travellers will join you to toast a final "uisge beatha"!
