What to expect
You'll start with cheese and biscuits before heading to your first distillery, where a guide walks you through their operation and pours tastings of their range. At the second and third locations, the routine repeats with fresh pours and different spirits on offer. The highlight comes when you're invited to blend your own whisky—the guide helps you nose different casks and decide your proportions, creating something genuinely yours. Lunch arrives midway through the day, giving you time to digest what you've learned and chat with your guide about what you're tasting. Expect to be on your feet moving between venues and learning proper tasting technique.
Good to know
Bring water and eat a light breakfast beforehand—spirits on an empty stomach hit harder. Wear comfortable shoes as you'll walk between tasting rooms. The tour isn't suitable if you're pregnant. Public transport is nearby if you'd prefer not to be driven, though a private vehicle is included. You won't be purchasing bottles today, so this is purely about tasting and learning.
