Speyside Whisky Tour

 

In 1824, The Glenlivet became Speyside’s first licensed distillery, so it seems fitting to make this the first stop of the day. A tour of the distillery is followed by a dram with which to toast the founder, George Smith.

​

 A short drive along the Spey Valley brings us to Aberlour, where lunch awaits us at the Mash Tun, where the whisky bar has a superb selection of whiskies to sample along with good food.

​

 The next visit is to the Speyside Cooperage to see master coopers at work making the oak casks in which, by law, whisky must be stored for at least 3 years and one day.

​

 Finally it’s on to the Glenfiddich distillery for another tour and tasting before returning to our starting point.

​

 This tour can be adapted to include Speyside distilleries of your choice (provided they are open to the public.)
