(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Carrbridge
On our way to our first distillery Carrbridge’s most famous landmark is the old Carrbridge packhorse bridge, from which the village is named. The bridge, built in 1717, is the oldest stone bridge in the Highlands. It was severely damaged in the “muckle spate” of 1829 which left it in the condition seen today. As seen in the picture can be a slow calming stream of water and can jump to fast flowing river jumping 6-7 feet higher in heavy rain downfall.
Glenfarclas Distillery
There is evidence that the distillery first started operations sometime before 1791. The distillery was first granted a licence in 1836. The distillery has approximately 68,000 casks maturing on site, in traditional dunnage warehouses, with stock from every year from 1953 to the current year. Glenfarclas produce a traditional Highland malt with a heavy sherry influence. The company was named Distiller of the Year by Whisky Magazine in 2006, 2020 and 2023.

Each year, it produces and maintains 150,000 oak casks used by the surrounding Speyside Whisky distilleries, as well as distilleries throughout Scotland and the rest of the world.
