A comfortable trip with a lot of learning in a wonderfully beautiful environment
Two lovely guides with a twinkle in their eyes took us around the countryside to see and experience the whiskey homeland. Visits to distilleries and production of the core of whisky. The barrels. History, Tastings, comfortable drive and laughter. Well worth

Whisky lovers delight
Travelling in a small group is so good. Tom our driver arrived early for pick up, giving us more time for photo stops along the way. We sampled 7 whiskys in total. The cooperage was great, having the cask restoring & making explained. The scenery along the way is stunning. Bonus seeing coo's at Cardhu.
