Speyside Whisky Trail: Glenlivet, Macallan & 5 More Distilleries | Scotland Day 9

Описание: Day nine of this Scotland road trip takes the crew deep into the heart of Speyside for a full Whisky Trail experience — despite a fever threatening to derail the plan.

Even while under the weather, they manage to visit an impressive lineup of legendary distilleries:

The Glenlivet Distillery

Cragganmore Distillery

The Macallan Distillery

The Balvenie Distillery

Glenfiddich Distillery

Aberlour Distillery

Mortlach Distillery

Highlights include hand-filling a 12-year bottle at Glenlivet for a birthday gift, exploring the striking modern architecture at Macallan, and comparing tasting notes across some of Scotland’s most iconic single malts — with Balvenie’s DoubleWood 12-year emerging as a personal favorite.

The day wraps along the dramatic Aberdeenshire coastline with visits to the atmospheric ruins of:

New Slains Castle

Old Slains Castle

These windswept cliffside castles offer a wild, unsupervised reminder that Scotland does not over-sanitize its history.

It may have been a blurry day — but not for the reasons you’d expect.

If you're planning a Speyside whisky tour, this episode shows what it's actually like to attempt multiple distillery visits in one ambitious day.
