The Experience

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.

Duration: 4 days

Led by: Expert local guide

Group size: Max 16 people

Travel by: Mini Coach & Ferry

Bowmore Distillery- Islay’s oldest distillery, on the shores of the picturesque Loch Indaal.

Oban- this bustling Victorian harbour town offers excellent seafood and a charming intimacy.

Lagavulin Distillery- with its distinctive pear-shaped stills, Lagavulin is one of Scotland's oldest distilleries, set against the backdrop of the Dunyvaig Castle ruins.

Kilchoman Distillery- from barley to bottle, this is the only farm distillery on Islay, bringing a revival to traditional farm distilling techniques.
