Come and experience Scotland’s “Water of Life” - single malt Scotch whisky - with visits to two fascinating distilleries situated right on the edge of the Highlands. In between these visits enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Loch Lomond National Park. This tour is for lovers of Scotch single malt whisky and for those who would like to know more about our national drink. Discover the secrets behind the making of Scotland’s national drink and in particular the best variety of all - single malt whisky. Your tour takes you west from Edinburgh past Stirling to visit the first distillery of the day at Glengoyne. Beautifully situated at the foot of the Campsie Hills, which provide the water supply for whisky making, the tour of the distillery will introduce you to the simple but magical process of turning barley, water & yeast into whisky. A tasting of 2 drams of Whisky is also included. From here you will take a scenic drive to the shores of Loch Lomond in the heart of Scotland’s first National Park where you can enjoy a tasty pub lunch and the chance to sample some local beers. After lunch, we recommend a short walk to the viewpoint overlooking the loch and all its islands before heading off towards the second distillery of the day at Deanston*. This converted cotton mill on the banks of the River Teith has many interesting features and produces some unique flavours in its whisky. After a relaxed afternoon visit here you will return to Edinburgh with the stories and flavours of single malt whisky fresh in your mind. For a more personal experience, this tour is taken in the comfort of a 16-seat mini-coach. *Entrance fee at Deanston Distillery not included. Participants must be 18 years and older.
