Frequently Asked Questions

Here are a few common questions travellers often ask before booking whisky distillery tours. Call or message me with any question. I will be happy to help plan your day.

What does a private whisky tour mean?

Aleman Icon
A private tour means the day is yours. I will be your driver and guide, and the Ford Tourneo Custom is reserved for your group. It is a calm and personal way to explore the ancient whisky country. If you are still wondering, just give Aleman a call. I am always happy to chat.

How do we choose the distilleries?

Aleman Icon
Choose any two whisky distillery tours from one region. I will plan your timings, route and lunch stop. You can mix iconic names with smaller places. These tours of Scotland are designed for travellers who appreciate craft and authenticity.

What is included in the price?

Aleman Icon
The price includes private transport, guiding, and itinerary planning. Distillery entries and tastings are paid directly to each venue. If you have a special request, let me know when you book so I can plan ahead.

Do I need to book distilleries in advance?

Aleman Icon
Yes. Many fill quickly, especially The Macallan and Glenfiddich. Once you have chosen your two, I will help plan ideal times. Advance booking keeps your day organised and ensures a smooth route between each location.

What if I do not drink whisky?

Aleman Icon
You can still have a great day. There are scenic roads, cultural stops, and local stories to experience. I can include places of interest, such as castles or viewpoints, so your day remains full and varied.

How long does the distillery tour last?

Aleman Icon
The day runs around 8 hours, from 9 AM to 5 PM. That covers two distilleries, planned travel time, and photo stops along the route. Each journey reveals a spectacular side of the country that many visitors never see.

Can we start from somewhere other than Inverness?

Aleman Icon
Yes. I can collect you from Invergordon Port, nearby hotels, or the airport, if arranged in advance. Custom tours often include transfers, and I can plan routes across the Scotland whisky tours map if you wish to travel further.

Can we add anything extra to the whisky day?

Aleman Icon
We can add scenic viewpoints or local places when time allows. Tell me before booking what you would like to include. I will explain what works with your chosen distilleries and tasting times. This private whisky tour is best planned around two distillery visits, lunch and comfortable travel. Small changes can be discussed before the day.
