Scotch whisky is ingrained within Scottish culture. The ancient Scots used it to heal common ailments and keep warm throughout the winter. And now, Scottish whisky exports make up one quarter of the UK’s international food and drink trade. It’s a fascinating part of Scottish heritage, and on this tour, you learn about it at two distinct distilleries. You visit Glengoyne, a tiny, quaint distillery located at the foot of a delightful hill. And you explore Deanston distillery, a large distillery with a fascinating industrial past. What’s more is you blend these delicious flavours with a visit to one of the most famous lochs in the whole of Scotland at the Loch Lomond National Park. So take this tour, sample a delectable range of whiskies, and learn about Scotland’s national drink. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Please meet your Rabbie's guide inside… - Entry ticket not included: buy it separately - Starts 09:30: one departure a day - Age 18+: Minimum age is 18 years ## Key facts - Price: from €130 per person - Duration: 9h - Rating: 4.7/5 from 296 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 94% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Rabbies Trail Burners ## What's included - Top range 16-seat Mercedes mini-coach - Admission fees - Whisky tastings at Deanston Distillery - The stories and services of an English-speaking driver-guide - Admission fees - Tour and Whisky tastings at Glengoyne - Small group (16 people max) for a more personal experience ## Not included - Gratuities - Meals and refreshments - Hotel pickup and drop-off - Entrance Fees: Unless specified ## Itinerary 1. **Glengoyne Distillery** (1h 15m; admission included) - Tour (with 2 drams of Whisky) included in the tour price.
