Marcus meets you (ideally in Glasgow) and with a whisky, whisks you away to the west coast, “west is best”.  We stop at the famous Loch Lomond en route to Oban. Take a tour of Oban Distillery and sample 3 drams, the bar offers you the choice of additional drams. The distillery was built in 1794, before the town! For non whisky drinkers, there’s plenty to do in the pretty harbour town. Check into your hotel in an executive room with sea views – welcome to the seafood capital of Scotland – a perfect end to your first day with Scotland Whisky Tours!

A morning sail (45 mins) to the Isle of Mull where visiting Duart Castle, built in the fourteenth century, home to the Clan Chief, of the Clan Maclean. Then a short drive to the quaint wee town of Tobermory.  Time for lunch in a local pub (be warned, huge portions) before The Warehouse One Experience at Tobermory Distillery. Return to Oban, overnight as above.  

Drive north passing Castle Stalker to Fort William where you drop into Ben Nevis Distillery to purchase drams. Then stop at the Commando War Memorial set in beautiful scenery. Then tour of Eilean Donan Castle, the most photographed castle in Scotland. Then, what we believe a highlight, check into in a highland lodge hotel built in 1910, with stunning loch and mountain views – the famous, West Highland bar is perfect to meet locals sampling Scottish ales and scotch – highland hospitality at it’s best.

A full day on the famous Isle of Skye.  Depending how much whisky/sightseeing you want there’s options.  Tour and taste at Talisker Distillery, time for lunch and a Whisky & Chocolate tasting at Torabhaig Distllery. For those wanting more, we take you on the wee ferry to the Isle of Raasay. Take the Distillery and Bottling Warehouse Tour at this young distillery.  The tour finishes with a tasting of two scotch and an Isle of Raasay gin. Then back to the mainland for another evening at the highland lodge.  Why not take a whisky down to the loch in time for a stunning sunset?

Today we head south stopping at Dalwhinne Distillery where you buy drams to suit, usually chocolate and whisky pairing.  Then the pretty Victorian town of Pitlochry, nestled in the heart of Perthshire. Options for those who don’t want any more whisky, walk around the town and explore the Heather Gems Centre (making jewellery from heather). Those wanting scotch, dram at the bar of Blair Atholl Distillery (Bells), made out of an old mash tun.  Overnight in a Victorian Mansion, a cosy and serene retreat in 10 acres of land, just a five minute walk into town. There’s also an excellent whisky shop where we can arrange a private tasting. Overnight Pitlochry.

Heading south today and your final tasting, at the French owned Tullibardine Distillery (superb wine finishes), sampling their core range of 6 drams.  Finally, return to the city you arrived in to, where Marcus leaves you. We hope you have enjoyed your time with Scotland Whisky Tours.
