Take a trip into whisky paradise on our one-day Ultimate Whisky Experience tour from Edinburgh. Visit two distilleries; Dewar's and Glenturret; and enjoy a relaxing stop in the village of Aberfeldy on this Scottish Whisky trail.
Departing Edinburgh, our Ultimate Whisky tour of Scotland begins with a journey north to Dewar's Aberfeldy Distillery for our first whisky themed stop of the day. Dewar's world-renowned crafted Highland Single Malt Aberfeldy whisky has been produced at Aberfeldy Distillery since 1898. We spend 2 hours here for their Whisky and Chocolate tasting tour at £22.95 per person; comprising of a full guided tour of the distillery and interactive heritage exhibition with a tasting of Aberfeldy's 12 year old single malt whisky (optional extra).
After a Dewar's Aberfeldy Distillery tour, we continue to the village of Aberfeldy for lunch. Spend time here exploring its streets, enjoy the scenery with plenty of time to grab a bite to eat before our whisky tour continues to Glenturret Distillery.
Located on the Turret River, just outside of Crieff, Glenturret Distillery* is Scotland's oldest working distillery and still hand crafts its whisky using the last remaining hand operated mash tun in Scotland. Here, we enjoy a tour and tasting at £15 (optional extra).
We then begin our return journey to Edinburgh, passing by the majestic Forth Bridges where there may be time for a photo stop.
