Private Whisky Day Tour from Glasgow
Whisky lovers, this is the tour for you! Experience the best of Scotland’s whisky heritage and innovation in one unforgettable day. We’ll take you from the rolling hills of the Highlands to the smooth, sophisticated Lowlands, visiting three distinct distilleries that each bring something unique to the table.
This private tour means no big groups—just you, your whisky adventure, and a knowledgeable guide to bring Scotland’s whisky story to life. Relax and enjoy the journey, as we pick you up from your chosen location in Glasgow and drop you back at the end of the day—or, if you’d like to keep the night going, at one of Glasgow’s famous whisky bars.
Glengoyne Distillery – Highland Elegance
We start our day at your choosen location as we get on the road through some lovely countryside to Glengoyne Distillery, where whisky is made with patience and passion. Nestled at the base of the Campsie Hills, this picture-perfect distillery is known for Scotland’s slowest stills, producing an unpeated, rich, and fruity single malt. The Highland air and traditional methods create a whisky that is smooth, complex, and full of character. You’ll tour the distillery, soak in the stunning surroundings, and, of course, enjoy a generous tasting of Glengoyne’s finest drams. You can choose to take the regular tour or really spoil your self with Whisky and chocolate pairing with some of the finest chocolates from Iain Burnett The Highland Chocolatier.
Auchentoshan Distillery – Lowland Smoothness
Next, we head into the Lowlands to Auchentoshan, a distillery with over 200 years of whisky-making tradition. Famous for its triple distillation process, Auchentoshan whisky is exceptionally smooth, light, and packed with delicate citrus and vanilla notes. Here, you’ll step inside one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries, learn the secrets behind its unique production, and enjoy a tasting that highlights the elegant character of Lowland whisky.
Clydeside Distillery – The Future of Whisky in Glasgow
Our final stop brings us to the Clydeside Distillery, a strikingly modern addition to Scotland’s whisky scene. Located in a beautifully restored Victorian Pumphouse on the River Clyde, this distillery fuses Glasgow’s rich whisky heritage with cutting-edge technology and contemporary craftsmanship. Unlike the soft, gentle Auchentoshan, Clydeside’s whisky is bold, fresh, and full of vibrant flavors. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how a modern distillery operates, followed by a tasting that showcases the new era of Lowland whisky.
A Perfect Ending to Your Whisky Journey
After a day of incredible drams, stunning scenery, and fascinating whisky stories, we’ll drop you off at your chosen location in Glasgow. Or, if you want to continue your whisky adventure, we’ll happily drop you at one of Glasgow’s famous whisky bars, where you can keep the night flowing with some of the world’s finest drams.
