Our day begins with a visit to one of the most renowned and historic distilleries in Speyside—and all of Scotland—The Glenlivet. During this immersive tour, you’ll explore the distillery’s 200-year history, witness the full whisky production process, and step into Warehouse 1, home to casks of whisky maturing to perfection. The experience concludes with a tasting of several Glenlivet expressions, including a distillery-exclusive release.

After this remarkable visit, we’ll enjoy lunch in the charming town of Aberlour, known for its picturesque setting and local delicacies.

Following lunch, we’ll make an optional stop at the iconic Walker’s Shortbread Factory for those interested in stocking up on sweet treats—perfect for pairing with whisky.

Next, we head to another Speyside classic, Cardhu Distillery. Here, you’ll tour the traditional production areas of this beautiful distillery and cap the visit with a Cardhu Collection Tasting. This premium experience features six carefully selected drams, including two exclusive distillery releases.

On the return journey to Aberdeen, we’ll pause for photos at the iconic Craigellachie Bridge, designed by the legendary Thomas Telford and spanning the scenic River Spey.
