Distillery Visits

This is a very unique tour! We start in the Upper Highlands and head to Orkney to visit Highland Park & Scapa. We then work our way down the West Coast of Scotland, island hopping to Talisker & Tobermory. We finish the journey going from Oban to Campbeltown.

On this tour we will visit Old Pulteney, Highland Park, Scapa, Talisker, Tobermory, Oban, Springbank and others.

Spectacular Beauty

Not only are we visiting some of the best distilleries in Scotland, but these distilleries will take us to some of the most beautiful parts of Scotland. This will be a beautiful trip along the coast, stopping to take in the majestic beauty found on these remote islands and locations.

We include a nice balance of whisky, history and culture on our Scotland journeys.

Your Guide

Charles Grabitzky has been taking groups to Scotland, Ireland, Japan and Kentucky on whisky tours for many years.  This trip will be the first Scottish Island Whisky Tour! He is super-excited to take people on this dream trip around some of the most beautiful parts of Scotland.

    Our @rascalandthorn Water of Life Collaboration Tour continued to Glenglassaugh Distillery. Such great hospitality by Stewart Buchanan, Global Brand Ambassador. A visit to the Sandend Beach, full Distillery Tour and a fabulous tasting and feast to end with. What a great afternoon! The Sandend tasted like the beach!

    We started our 2nd @rascalandthorn Collaboration Whisky Tour with @wateroflifefilm with a visitor to Tormore Distillery in the Speyside Region of Scotland. It was really an incredible visit to the distillery with one of their Senior Distillery Managers, George, who took us through everything in detail. Then off to barrel making, hands on, and a trip to the water source for more drams! And to sample from the spring. A great way to kick off our 2nd Tour with @weedrambigman.
