What to expect

You leave Aberdeen in the morning and travel through the vast hills of Cairngorms National Park to Corgarff. Here, you go for a little walk towards the Corgarff Castle, once a noble residence that in the 18th century was turned into a military base.

Invigorated by the walk, you head deeper into the national park, as you travel past Cockbridge and Tomintoul. This legendary stretch of road regularly sees the first of the snowy winter weather and crosses the mountain pass known locally as the Lecht. You'll have plenty of time for photo opportunities on this unforgettable route.

Then you delve into the home of whisky, the Speyside region. Here, you stop at the Whisky Castle for an optional tutor whisky tasting and lunch. This whisky emporium has been selling the finest malt whiskies for over 120 years and is stocking over 600 malts, so it's a real treasure trove for whisky lovers.

Next, you travel to the Speyside Cooperage where you get to know the history of Scotland's oak casks. Then you head to Cardhu Distillery, the first distillery pioneered by a woman, Helen Cumming. Today, Cardhu is the most important whisky in Johnnie Walker's Black Label.

You leave Cardhu full of appreciation for whisky and arrive in Aberdeen in the early evening. It's now up to you whether you continue the whisky tasting into the night.
