Our friendly guide Danny, as we may call him “King Dan”, has given us a fantastic trip to the distilleries and the beautiful highlands, with just the perfect blend of history, anecdote, jokes, photo-shooting and of course, whisky along the road. An absolute five star trip recommended to whisky-lovers who fancy a delightful day-off.
We had a lovely day trip to the highlands from Edinburgh. First we stopped at the 3 bridges outside of Edinburgh for a quick photo-op, snack/restroom break. Next, the Dewar's tour. We first learned about the history and then did a tasting of three of their whiskys and then did a tour of the distillery and warehouse. Learned a lot about their Aberfeldy single malt as well as the blended Dewar's. Then we went to Kenmore/Loch Tay for lunch. My friend and I chose to grab food at the store and walked down to have a picnic by the water, and then met back up with the guide/group an hour later. Then we were off to a couple other photo ops(some waterfalls, doune castle, some wildlife, etc) and then got to Deanston DIstillery where we had a brief tasting and spent some time in the gift shop. Did not include a tour of the distillery, but a thorough tasting/explanation by an employee. We had a fabulous day. It was a lot of time spent in a van/bus but it was worth it to see some of the more northern parts of the country. and there were frequent enough stops that you didn't feel too cooped up. Guide was great as well and tried to demonstrate Scottish culture by narrating the bus rides with fun facts and stories and occasionally played Scottish music.
