About this tour
Your story begins... You may know a thing or two about whisky. Like how taxes forced distillers to produce only at night, or how the Scots consider it the ‘water of life’. But even if you’re knowledgeable about whisky, you’re going to learn a lot more on this four day whisky tour on Islay, ‘Queen of the Hebrides’. You taste the smoky flavours of Islay’s single malts, explore the historic sights of Islay, and spend your time trading notes with fellow whisky lovers at six different distilleries.
