Whisky Tasting

Speyside is home to the River Spey and fertile glens, and is the largest whisky region in Scotland. Speyside is renowned for its famous whisky brands. The distilleries here are famous for traditionally producing whiskies that are low on peat, but full of fruit with sweet and rich flavours. 

About the experience

Guests can enjoy a fully chauffeured whisky experience through the heart of Speyside. Along the way, a knowledgeable local expert brings Scotland’s whisky heritage to life. The day follows the renowned Malt Whisky Trail. You visit a selection of celebrated distilleries and learn how single malt is crafted. You also explore how different casks influence flavour. Your guide collects you from your lodge for an 8–10 hour journey. This includes visits to three or four distilleries and one full production tour. It also includes a relaxed lunch at a local pub or restaurant. In addition, you enjoy scenic stops at historic viewpoints. These stops offer plenty of opportunities for photographs and a well‑earned dram.

For those who prefer to unwind in the comfort of their lodge, guests can also choose a private whisky tasting experience. This relaxed, in‑lodge session lets you explore a curated selection of Speyside malts at your own pace. Throughout the tasting, an expert guides you through flavour profiles and production methods. They also share the stories behind each dram. As a result, it becomes an ideal way to enjoy Scotland’s whisky culture without travelling. It creates a memorable evening that pairs perfectly with a cosy fire and good company.
