Our tours are as smooth and refined as a single malt.
tuigsear
(pronounced toog-shir)
A Scottish Gaelic word meaning “one who understands” or “connoisseur.”
Scotland’s most exclusive whisky experiences.
Led by a local whisky connoisseur and a retired distillery manager, our private tours go far beyond the ordinary. We offer rare access to world-renowned distilleries and private sites that are closed to the public.
Travel in a luxury SUV or upgrade to a comfortable minibus. Sip exceptional, limited-edition whiskies. Take in stunning Highland and Speyside landscapes, all curated by insiders who live and breathe whisky.
No buses. No crowds. No compromises.
Just world-class whisky, breath-taking views, and insider access money usually cannot buy.

Guests staying further afield are also warmly welcomed.

For longer pickups, a little advance notice ensures your journey remains seamless and memorable.
Cruise ship visitors arriving into Aberdeen, Invergordon, Scrabster or Ullapool are also invited to join us. Share your plans and we will design a tailored whisky experience that makes the very most of your time ashore.
Small or Large Groups, Always Personal
Most tours welcome up to four guests in a luxury SUV, offering a relaxed, comfortable, and deeply personal whisky journey. Larger private groups of up to eight or even twelve can also be accommodated without compromising on comfort or experience. Planning for more than twelve? Get in touch and we will be delighted to create a bespoke option.
Whether you are travelling as a couple, a family, with friends, or marking a special occasion, every journey is immersive, unhurried, and shaped around your pace, your interests, and your sense of adventure. Always delivered with genuine Highland hospitality.
