Campbeltown and Islay Whisky Tour
This fantastic tour of the absolute best distilleries (in my opinion) on a multiday tour. This is truly the magical whisky tour. From the best the lowlands has to offer (Auchentoshan) to Campbeltown and the Isle of Islay. My favourite whiskies and a true step into the magic of the water of life.
This tour covers a lot of ground and many distilleries. We will need plenty of time to allow all these sites. If you have less days we can try to make an itinerary that will hit at least the preferred distilleries.
Campbeltown & Islay Private Whisky Tour: Scotland’s Coastal Spirit Adventure
Journey to the edge of Scotland on a private whisky tour through Campbeltown and Islay, two legendary regions steeped in maritime heritage and bold flavour. This bespoke experience blends windswept coastlines, ancient castles, and some of the most iconic distilleries in the world.
Begin in Campbeltown, once home to over 30 distilleries and now a hidden gem producing distinctive, full-bodied malts. Explore Springbank, Glen Scotia, and Glengyle, where traditional methods and family-run passion still thrive.
Then sail to Islay, the island of peat and sea spray, where smoky legends like Lagavulin, Ardbeg, Laphroaig, and Bowmore await. Enjoy warehouse tastings, malting floor tours, and coastal walks to ancient crosses and seal-dotted shores.
With luxury transport, local guides, and tailored itineraries, this tour offers a rich blend of whisky, history, and wild beauty—perfect for connoisseurs and curious explorers alike.
