The Singleton Distillery
As the only distillery on the fertile Black Isle, Glen Ord is the perfect place to ground yourself at the end of your Highland journey. This is a stop that feels connected to the land, offering a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere to enjoy a final dram before heading home. The Heart of the Harvest: Glen Ord is one of the rare few that still houses its own on-site maltings. At the source of the process you can feel the farming heritage that has made this award-winning distillery a cornerstone of the Highlands. Glen Ord serves as a vital 'engine room' for Diageo, crafting the high-quality spirit that provides the signature smooth foundation for the world-famous Johnnie Walker blends. Distillery Exclusives: This is your chance to sample rugged, rare expressions that you simply won't find in the shops. Before we leave, you can even take part in the 'Bottle Your Own' experience—hand-filling a bottle of distillery-exclusive whisky to take a piece of the Black Isle home with you.

Black Isle Brewery
Black Isle Brewery: The Organic Frontier If time allows, we love to make a pit stop at the Black Isle Brewery. This isn't just a brewery; it's a working 130-acre organic farm where they grow their own barley and even keep a flock of Hebridean sheep. It is the only organic brewery in the Highlands and a true pioneer of the "soil-to-glass" philosophy. A Proper Highland Welcome: The atmosphere here is wonderfully relaxed and unpretentious. We’ll drop in for a chat with the team and a "wee taste" of their world-class craft beers—like the famous Red Kite or Yellowhammer. It’s a great way to see how a modern Highland business can thrive while staying rooted in the traditions of the land.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Highland Whisky Tour including 10+ Single Malt Tastings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Inverness.
How much does Private Highland Whisky Tour including 10+ Single Malt Tastings cost?
+
Prices start at $946 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Inverness usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Highland Whisky Tour including 10+ Single Malt Tastings take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Inverness is not rushed.
Is Private Highland Whisky Tour including 10+ Single Malt Tastings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Inverness, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Highland Whisky Tour including 10+ Single Malt Tastings?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Highland Whisky Tour including 10+ Single Malt Tastings suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Highland Whisky Tour including 10+ Single Malt Tastings?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Inverness can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Inverness and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Highland Whisky Tour including 10+ Single Malt Tastings start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Inverness within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Inverness?
+
On Outty we rank every Inverness experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Ultimate Isle of Skye Day Tour from Inverness, Isle of Skye and Eilean Donan Castle Day Tour from Inverness, Loch Ness, Outlander & Urquhart Castle from Inverness. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Inverness?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Inverness?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
