About this experience
The heart of Scotch. Three distilleries in a day, chosen so the group sees a big famous name, a mid-sized workhorse and a small operation still doing things by hand.
The warehouse tasting is the part people remember — drawn straight from the cask by valinch, at cask strength, in a dunnage warehouse that smells of a hundred years of it.
Highlights
- Three contrasting Speyside distilleries
- Cask-strength warehouse tasting drawn by valinch
- Private driver for the whole day
- Lunch included at a Highland inn
