INVERNESS WHISKY TOUR

Explore the rich and interesting history of whisky making in Inverness and the Northern Highlands.

Inverness and the Northern Highlands have a rich and interesting history in whisky making. One of the first accounts of a whisky style spirit being consumed was when King James IV was in Inverness during September 1506, the Treasurer’s Accounts had entries for the 15th and 17th of the month: ‘For aqua vite to the King. . .’ and ‘For ane flacat of aqua vite to the King. . .’. lt is more than likely that the Aquavitae in this case was spirit for drinking. Follow the footsteps of Royalty on your Inverness Whisky Tour.

The whisky from this region is some of the most prestigious and famous in the world. Glenmorangie and Brora are well known and respected worldwide. There are also lesser known gems such as Tomatin and Balblair close by.

On your Inverness whisky tour, you will come across many Highland whiskies, with many different flavours and different characters. Clynelish, for example has an unique oily texture not found elsewhere in the country.

Best Distillery Tours Near Inverness

Last Updated:  May 15, 2024

If you want to visit a whisky distillery near Inverness but are unsure where to go, you must read our Best Distillery Tours Near Inverness Guide. We have done the research and have come up with the optimal strategies, whether you are self-driving, catching public transport, or would like to have someone else organise a whisky tour for you. For the best Inverness distillery tours, read on!

General Distillery Visitor Information

COVID-19 has caused significant changes to many distilleries' operation and tour schedules and nearly all now require advanced bookings, even for tastings. We endeavour to ensure the information on this website is accurate; however, due to the unpredictable nature of COVID outbreaks, information may change at short notice. Please check the distillery's website before you go as (see links in the distillery profiles below).

Even in 'normal' times, we recommend that you book in advance to avoid disappointment or avoid long wait times. The booking links and phone numbers for each distillery are below. While you can sometimes drop in, distilleries are becoming increasingly popular as a tourist destination, and tours often sell out days in advance.

Please check the distillery's website for opening hours and tour times as they change throughout the year. The times listed below were accurate at the time of writing.

Dogs, Children and Inverness Distillery Tours

Dogs are generally not allowed in Distillery restaurants/cafes, visitor centres or in production areas, so don’t plan to bring your dog on a distillery tour. Guide dogs and special assistance dogs are permitted, although they may not be allowed in some production areas, so please check with the distillery before you book a tour.

Each distillery has a different policy on the age or number of children that can be taken on a distillery tour or be present during a tasting; please check the distillery's website or call ahead to confirm whether your child/children can join you. A quick summary for distilleries near Inverness:

• The Tomatin Distillery do permit children of all ages but on the Legacy Tour only  (other tours/tastings 18+)
• Glen Ord Distillery and Clynelish / Brora do not permit children under the age of 8 years on tours | Children over 8 years old only. Children over 8 years of age may also go on the Glenmorangie Distillery   Classic Tour.
• Balblair Distillery do not permit children under the age of 12 years on tours | Children over 12 years old only.

For more information on which distilleries you can take your children to, see our post 50 Distillery Tours In Scotland Your Kids Can Actually Go On .

50 Distillery Tours In Scotland Your Kids Can Actually Go On

Accessibility / wheelchair access.

Most distillery tours near Inverness are at least partially wheelchair accessible/suitable for those with mobility impairments. Contact the distillery directly if you have any questions. Also have a look at Euan's Guide - a purpose built website that makes it easier for disabled persons to find great places to go.

• Glen Ord Distillery  offer an accessible route on distillery tours which can accommodate most types of manual or powered wheelchairs and other mobility aids, with an accessible toilet and accessible parking spaces - see Glen Ord's Euan's Guide profile for more information.
• The Tomatin Distillery is partially wheelchair accessible, with an accessible toilet and accessible parking spaces - see Tomatin's Euan's Guide profile for more information.
• Balblair Distillery is partially wheelchair accessible, with an accessible toilet and accessible parking spaces.

• The Glenmorangie Distillery Visitor Centre and the Benromach Distillery Visitor Centre are wheelchair accessible however the distillery tours are not.

But I Don’t Want To (Or Can’t) Drive!

The following distilleries are accessible by public transport (bus) from Inverness, and the journey is 45 to 60 minutes (each way), other than the newly opened Uile-Bheist Distillery which is right in the heart of Inverness. While the other distilleries are accessible by public transport (Glenmorangie, Balblair, Clynelish / Brora) the time to reach them by public transport is over 2 hours each way.

Uile-Bheist Distillery

The tomatin distillery, benromach distillery.

• The Dalmore Distillery (not currently open to the public)

Glen Ord Distillery and The Tomatin Distillery are approximately 30 minutes in a car from Inverness so you may also wish to consider a taxi or Uber if a bus is not your preferred mode of transport.

Day Trips From Inverness - Organised Whisky Tours

Road Trip! Self-Drive Whisky Tour

Oh, the freedom of the open road! You have your pick of distillery tours near Inverness. These maps are designed to be interactive – click on the square frame icon top right of the map to open it in a new browser (‘view larger map’). Modifying the route is easiest on your computer, not your mobile phone, however, if you’ve only got a mobile device, you can import the destination pins into Google Maps and use the directions features to get the best routes.

For more information on how to use Google MyMaps, more information is available on our Scotland Distillery Map page .

Basing yourself in Inverness also means you are not too far from an abundance of distilleries in Speyside; if you are considering tours in Speyside, see our Guide to the Best Speyside Whisky Distillery Tours.

We’ve chosen the following routes from Inverness as all of the distilleries are usually open most days with regular tours, but please keep in mind it is generally now essential to pre-book your visit times at least a day or two in advance. Even in 'normal times' tours often book out, especially on weekends and during peak holiday times, and you don’t want to drive all that way and miss out. We've included the online booking and phone booking information in each distillery profile below.

There are only so many distillery tours you can do in a day. I recommend you pick your favourite TWO.

You can certainly stop by other distilleries, have a look, take some photos and do a tasting (or grab yourself a bottle to take home) but if you’re trying to do more than two distillery tours, you’re going to be pushing for time. The routes below are around 3 hours of driving excluding all other activities . If you allow two tours, you’re already at 5-6 hours for the day, minimum. Most distilleries run tours between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm (last tour at 4 pm), but this varies depending on the time of year (most close earlier Nov – Mar). Remember to consider this when you’re picking your destinations, and prepare for a long day.

Hot Tip For the Designated Driver: most distilleries will permit you to ‘take away’ your tasting dram.

Many distilleries provide glass bottle miniatures for this purpose and some will provide little plastic containers. Always ask and see if you can do ‘take away’ or ‘take home’ samples. In case they don’t have any suitable ‘take away’ vessels, stop by a pharmacy/chemist shop and see if you can buy a ‘sample’ container. Yes, it’s a urine/specimen sample container! Don’t worry as they’ll be sterile and the screw top lids are perfect for keeping whisky safe because they don’t leak.

Another option is to buy some glass screw top containers before you go - the glass wont react with the alcohol, although, being glass, it is more susceptible to being broken if dropped or knocked.

The Whisky Distilleries of the United Kingdom

One of Amanda's favourite books. Around 1885, Alfred Barnard was secretary of Harper's Weekly Gazette, a journal dedicated to the wine and spirit trade. In order to provide his readers with the history and descriptions of the whisky-making process, Barnard decided to visit all distilleries in Scotland, England and Ireland. Accompanied by friends, he visited and sketched over 150 distilleries, including many of the now 'lost' distilleries of Campbeltown.

Spirit of Place

Spirit of Place by Charles MacLean, with photographs by Lara Platman and Allan Macdonald, is a unique addition to the literature on Scotch whisky, from the world's greatest expert on the subject. The perfect gift for anyone planning a tour of Scotland's distilleries, a souvenir for anyone who has visited them, and simply the perfect companion to a dram at home. Campbeltown is overlooked as a region, but Spirit of Place does feature Springbank as part of the 'West Highlands' distillery profiles.
