Beginning at the distillery, guests will set out into what was once known as the Secret Glen; a remote landscape where smugglers hid their stills deep in the hills and moved spirit quietly through the glens. As you walk through this dramatic setting, Ally will reveal the hidden stories of illicit distilling and the ingenious ways whisky was produced and transported long before legal distilleries existed. Returning to the distillery, guests will enjoy a guided distillery tour, discovering how our Highland Single Malt spirit is crafted today, a modern continuation of a long and colourful history.
