Frequently Asked Questions
BOOKING ACCOMMODATION
Sorry, I cannot arrange your accommodation as I am not an agent, BUT I can make recommendations depending on your chosen location.
1 day tour distances
We can visit Highland Distilleries and, of course, Lowland distilleries in a one-day tour from Edinburgh or Glasgow.
can we tour speyside or islay?
A one night stay in Speyside (two nights on Islay) is needed to make a visit to these regions worthwhile – and more time will allow you to see more distilleries. For example a one night stay on Speyside would allow visits to 4 distilleries. We cannot visit these regions in a one-day tour from Edinburgh or Glasgow as the distances are too great.
HOW DO I PAY FOR DISTILLERY VISITS?
I am a fully independent Consultant/Specialist and, as such, I am not employed by any Distillery. I make all the arrangements for visits to your chosen Distilleries but clients must pay entrance fees direct to the Distillery concerned upon arrival where possilble..
