Islay Whisky Tour

Private, Multi-Day Islay tours from Glasgow & Edinburgh

Let us spirit you away on an unforgettable Islay whisky experience - a private, guided whisky tour that's handcrafted exclusively for you.

We recommend allowing 4 to 5 days for your Islay whisky adventure. This gives you time to travel at a relaxed pace, visit a range of legendary distilleries, and truly absorb the character and charm of this incredible island.

A Bespoke Tour Designed Just For You

No two Islay Tours that we create are the same. Each is custom-built from the ground up to suit your interests, pace and preferences.

On booking, we craft a personalised distillery plan just for you - one that unfolds thoughtfully, deepening your whisky knowledge and appreciation day by day. With our guidance, your experience flows and builds, introducing new flavours, perspectives and insights as you go.

This level of detail is possible only because we keep our tours small (maximum 6 guests) and highly personal. We get to know your favourites, understand your curiosity, and recommend the very best mix of experiences available at each stage of your journey.

Travel Through the Highlands to the Whisky Isle

Your adventure begins in Glasgow or Edinburgh, winding through the stunning West Highlands - past shimmering lochs, ancient castles and rugged glens - before crossing the sea to Islay, the spiritual home of smoky, peaty single malts.

The Distilleries of Islay Await

With a whisky-making tradition stretching back over 700 years, Islay is now home to 10 working distilleries - including newly revived Port Ellen.

Each distillery has its own distinct style, and your personalised itinerary could include:

Behind the scenes production tours
Exclusive warehouse tastings and cask draws
Distillery-exclusive bottlings and bottle-your-own experiences
Peat-cutting excursions
Long, leisurely distillery lunches
Clifftop walks and drams on the beach
Informal bar tastings or full-day immersive experiences

We'll help you strike the perfect balance - whether that's an in-depth focus on your favourites or a curated mix to showcase the full character of the island.
