About this tour
Explore the Queen of the Hebrides- The Isle of Islay.
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.
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.
Laphroaig Distillery
Pronounced “la-froyg” this Islay distillery was founded in 1815 by members of Clan Donald and still produces many iconic spirits today.
Ardbeg Distillery
This established 18th-century distillery's spirits are “as close to perfection as makes no difference."
