ノーザンウイスキー蒸留所のハイランドツアー

Driver George was punctual, friendly, provided interesting locsl info and stops. I would happily use him again.

It was a nice excursion with George, despite some language barriers. We saw a lot and were able to taste the magnificent whiskey of this beautiful country. Thank you very much!

The tour was excellent. It's very one on one with the driver George, a local Highlander who has many anecdotal stories and histories of the areas. Great knowledge of the area and things to see.

Great day with Robert being very flexible in making sure we saw the primary distilleries we were interested in & threw another in on the way back. Also took a couple detours to see local golf links I was interested in.

Great day out with George. The scenery was breathtaking. It was great to see the Gorse in bloom. Can only imagine what it must be like with the Heather is full colour. Balblair Distillery was definitely worth the visit. The gardens at Dunrobin were beautiful and the Falconry demonstration was really interesting. Found out we have been pronouncing Glenmorangie wrong for too many years to name. On our way back to the hotel we got to see Jamie and Katie. George dropped us off outside the hotel with the great recommendation of a fish supper from Fat Buddha's.

We ended up on a private tour with George and had a fantastic time! We recommend the northern Highlands tour if you want a mix of sightseeing (castle, lookout viewpoints, Highland coos) and some whiskey tastings. We thoroughly enjoyed the Balblair Distillery tour and learned a lot from it. It was nice to have the Dunrobin Castle tour break up the tastings. They serve hot lunch options at the castle. George was great with providing information about the area during the tour. If you want a more dedicated whiskey tasting tour, then perhaps the Speyside tour would be the better option. Please note that George helps book the Balblair whiskey tour, but the tour and/or tasting fees are not included (you pay when you get to the distillery).

George was so much fun!  He kept in touch over email and helped us plan our trip to Scotland. He picked us up at our B&B in Inverness. He helped us make the most of our short time in the Scottish Highlands and had us back at the station with a comfortable margin to catch our train.  George is VERY knowledgable about the Highlands area around Inverness and made sure we didn’t miss a thing. His van was super comfortable. And as a extra touch of authenticity, he came in full traditional Scottish attire. If I come back, I’ll be getting ahold of George!

My husband and I ended up on a private tour with George (well, one of the George’s, there are two). He drove us around Inverness and stopped at some amazing picturesque panoramic views prior to our whiskey tastings. Balblair was hands down our favorite tour and It was a completely unexpected treat. The guide at the facility was very personable and informative. We learned so much about the whiskey process and the stills used to create these masterpieces. Although we didn’t tour Glenmorangie, we enjoyed the tasing and gift shop. Also, Isaac at Singleton was incredibly knowledgeable and allowed us to sample whiskeys that we would have never been able to try at home in the US due to availability (or lack thereof). Side note, tip your guide. We asked Google if it was appropriate and Mr. Google lied to us. We neglected to tip George and he was amazing.

It’s the hidden treasures we are seeking - the road less traveled. Got an early start from the town of Inverness, meeting our tour director George. With a quirky sense of humor and deep local knowledge, it was easily one of the best tours we’ve had. There’s so much to see and experience in the northern towns and villages. Some well known distilleries, yet off the beaten path: perfect for our tastes. So many amazing encounters with folks having a lifetime of experience making some of the best whisky’s. My advice, if you get the chance to spend day touring with George, take it.

George was wonderful! Great guide on the way to each distillery. The distillery experience was also good, but the castle was honestly my favorite part. Would highly recommend!
