Scottish Whisky & Cheese Tasting

A Rare Pairing Experience at the Glen Garioch Distillery Visit one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries and taste single malt whiskies paired with local cheese. Embark on a scenic drive through the stunning countryside into the heart of Aberdeenshire to the verdant Valley of Garioch, known for its perfect conditions to grow the country’s finest barley. In the picturesque, historic market town of Oldmeldrum, visit the Glen Garioch Distillery, one of Scotland’s oldest, which has been making single malt whisky from the area’s abundance of barley and fresh spring water since 1797. During a guided walk through the distillery and warehouse, see the brand’s centuries-old methods at work and hear about the process from artisans who make these renowned small-batch spirits. Taste four non-chill filtered and aged single malt whiskeys with perfectly paired Scottish cheeses, chutneys and oatcakes. Afterward, return to your awaiting ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
