Overview

Discover the heart of Speyside on a private whisky tour led by Liam, founder of tuigsear, in a luxury SUV for up to 4 guests. Taste rare whiskies, visit iconic and hidden distilleries, and enjoy behind-the-scenes access that most visitors never see. Sip limited-edition drams from Liam’s personal collection in breathtaking locations, each stop tailored to your interests for a fully bespoke experience.

For extra comfort or larger groups, upgrade to the minibus for a premium journey guided by whisky legend John MacDonald, Keeper of the Quaich, with Liam also available. This is a rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Spots are extremely limited, and those who book will experience Speyside in a way few ever will.

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
