We were treated to the best whisky experience. Starting with the history of William Grant, the intimate tour brought us through the many processes of how whiskey is distilled, aged and we’ve learnt so much from this tour, it was a very well-spent afternoon! We’ve had the chance to taste one of the best single malt whiskey ranging from 12-year, solera 15-year, 18-year, 21-year, 25-year, 26-year and a special treat of a dram of 30-year to commemorate my 30th birthday. The food pairing was amazing and brought a magical experience for our taste buds. Unlike the other distilleries who used state of the art scientific methods to make whiskey, Glenfiddich retained the traditions of wood and differed oak casks to produce their whiskey. The single location also ensured that whiskey produced here is not mixed with other waters, which retains the original Glenfiddich traditions. Definitely a must-see! I would die and come back for the angel share if I must ????

The Whisky Line - Keith & Dufftown Railway

The Keith and Dufftown railway is one of the most Northerly preserved railways in the country, and one of the longest and most scenic. With over 10 miles of line your journey takes you from Dufftown station, past the Glenfiddich distillery and over the famous Glenfidich viaduct. You then travel up the long climb called parkmore hill which is surrounded by spectacular scenery up into the mountains, At the top you pass along the banks of Loch Park, a mile long resevoir only properly viewed from the railway with its spectacular wildlife. Then past Drummuir castle and on to Drummuir station, And that's only half way....

Balvenie Castle

Although the castle is closed until April, it’s worth driving up to see it (around the corner from Glenfiddich distillery) and the neighbouring highland cattle!
