Whisky Galore

Whisky Tours in Scotland

Whisky Galore is the title of an old film from 1949 where locals "rescued" a cargo of whisky from a stranded ship off their village. They found ingenious ways to hide their many bottles of Scotch from the taxman who was determined to find the whisky but was ultimately outwitted by the increasingly happy (and often sozzled) locals.

There are many wonderful whisky distilleries to choose from. On this tour we may journey through the Scottish Highlands and spend the day in Speyside, the home of some of the world's most famous whisky distilleries. A stop at Speyside Cooperage will show us how the skilled Coopers (experienced barrel makers) construct and repair the whisky barrels - back-breaking work. We will take time to enjoy great Scottish fayre at a local, well-stocked whisky bar where you can indulge in another wee dram to accompany your local, freshly cooked lunch.

Alternatively, we can visit one of the smaller distilleries closer to Aberdeen and add a tour of one of the many amazing castles around Aberdeenshire.  There's always time to savour great local Scottish cooking.
