Duration: 8 hours
The Singleton Distillery
A832, Muir of Ord, IV6 7UJ
The brand new distillery visitor centre is a sight to behold and a wonderful place to start the day enjoying some whiskies from their menu. Singleton 18 Rare by Nature is one of our favourites and this is one of the only places you'll find it on a menu. Lots of other whiskies including a bottle your own which you will only find at the distillery.
30 minutes
Struie Hill
Struie Hill, Tain IV19 1LD, UK
We will take you to one of our favourite views in Scotland for some chocolate paired whisky tastings from our private collection. It changes throughout the year as new bottles are released and old bottles are finished off with friends and family. Millionaires View is the perfect place to enjoy a dram or two with Inverness Whisky Tours.
15 minutes
Glenmorangie Distillery
on the A9, Ross-shire, Scottish Highlands, IV19 1PZ
Guests often decide to tour the distiery (£18pp which includes 2 tastes). Please let us know if you would like a tour booked and we can make enquiries about availability on your chosen date.
It's also possible to drop in to watch a short presentation followed by some tastes from their extensive menu. One of our favourite whiskies in the world is The Signet which can be purchased on site for £145 a bottle but they'll let you taste it for £10 and it's worth every penny.
1 hour • Admission Ticket Not Included
Dornoch
Dornoch
By this time of day it's usually time to give your palette a wee rest so we take a short drive over the Dornoch Firth and in to Dornoch for lunch. There are lots of options including the Highland Larder where you can enjoy freshly caught seafood at the beach.
While visiting Dornoch it would be rude not to drop by the Dornoch Castle Hotel which is home to one of Scotland's newest distilleries and one of the finest whisky collections in the Highlands. What's even better is they're all on the menu and and available to purchase by the dram. Sunny day? Then it's out to their gardens to enjoy a whisky in the sunshine or if it's a "wee bit chilly" then the castle bar is an extremely pleasant place to enjoy a fine single malt in the company of locals. The Angry Seagull Food truck has been operating there this year so this has been a popular option for fish and chips and other tasty treats.
1 hour
The Carnegie Whisky Cellars
The Carnegie Courthouse, Castle Street, Dornoch, IV25 3DF
A popular stop with our guests featuring lots of delicious whiskies available for purchase from old favourites to rare bottles. There's even the option to post your bottles home (depending on where you live) so there's no limit to how many bottles you can purchase. They will also post bottles you have purchased elsewhere so long as you purchase at least one bottle in their shop.
30 minutes
Balblair Distillery
Edderton, IV19 1LB
Another popular distillery to tour is Balblair whether it's an Original Tour (£20pp) or the more in depth Signature Tour (£45pp) you will not be disappointed. Alternatively if you just want to drop by for a taste their very knowledgable and friendly staff will give you an introduction to the distillery followed by a taste of the 12, 15, 18 and Single Cask.
30 minutes
Black Isle Brewery
Old Allangrange, Munlochy, IV8 8NZ
If there's time then we usually make a quick pit stop at the Black Isle Brewery for a chat and a wee taste of some delicious craft beers. Optional but often a hit with our guests.
