Whisky Safari – Small Group Experience
A three-hour whisky safari combining secret whisky spots, 4 whiskies, and local tales (max 7 people)
Service Description
Join Mitch Bechard, Speyside's whisky virtuoso and CopperCairn's founder, for a 3 hour whisky adventure through Scotland's whisky paradise. Mitch brings years of globe-trotting whisky wisdom from his time as the Diageo and Glenfiddich Ambassadors and has been honoured as a Keeper of The Quaich. This isn't just another whisky tour - it's a journey through Speyside guided by someone who has literally taken Scottish whisky to the world and returned home to share its magic. Whether you're a curious newcomer or a seasoned whisky enthusiast, Mitch’s engaging style, insider knowledge, and genuine love for his craft will transform your understanding of Speyside whisky forever. Your adventure begins when you will meet Mitch at The Speyside Whisky Shop in Aberlour for a warm Scottish welcome and the start of your journey. First dram - Venture to our secret spot along the River Spey, where Mitch brings tales of Speyside's whisky smugglers and illegal distilling to life with your first dram of the day. Dram Two - Wind your way to Cardhu Distillery, where you'll savour a carefully selected dram while soaking in panoramic views of the Speyside hills. Learn how this remarkable distillery was founded by Helen Cumming. Dram Three - Journey to Dufftown, the beating heart of whisky country, where you'll discover some giants of the industry - Glenfiddich and Balvenie and the closed distilleries of Parkmore and Convalmore. Mitch will reveal the fascinating stories of the town's lost distilleries. The Perfect Shot - Stop at the iconic Craigellachie Bridge for a dram in one of Speyside's most photographed locations. This Thomas Telford masterpiece has watched over whisky's journey through Speyside for centuries. Complete your adventure back at the Speyside Whisky Shop. • Four premium single malt tastings at iconic locations. • Comfortable transportation. • Stories that'll make you the most interesting person at your next dinner party. Limited to just seven whisky adventurers, this intimate group tour ensures you're not just another face in the crowd — unless, of course, you bring all six mates and make it your own private whisky takeover. Note: This is a group experience with stops at iconic distillery locations, but does not include internal tours.
