One Life Livet Tour – Award Winning 2023-11-15T14:55:00+00:00

Our Premier Whisky Smugglers’ Tour

In the 18 and early 19th Century, whisky production in the Glenlivet region was unlicensed, outlawed and was literally an underground occupation. To make ends meet, and relieve the boredom of long winter months, crofters made their own ‘whisky’ and some became so specialised in its production, that modern day distillers strive to replicate the chemistry, structure and heritage of these bygone times.

One Life Livet recounts the heady days of whisky smugglers attempts to outwit the excisemen (gaugers) and the many tricks they employed to produce and hide their illicit product and transport it south undetected.

The tour is a full day experience and includes Pick Up/Drop Off from your local hotel/residence in our air conditioned go anywhere Land Rover Safari vehicle, the services of an experienced local Scottish guide, visits and drams at exclusive historical sites, light lunch in an authentic hillside bothy, followed by a visit to The Glenlivet Distillery for a truly immersive experience which delves into both production and history of the brand. A guided tasting  of The Glenlivet core range of 12, 15 and 18 year old malts ends the day. We will then return you, hopefully in a mellow and chilled mood, to your accommodation.*
