DISCOVER SCOTLAND’S LEADING DISTILLERY TOUR: THE SINGLETON OF GLEN ORD
The journey along the North Coast 500 isn’t just about breathtaking scenery and winding roads—it’s also an opportunity to explore the rich tapestry of Scotland’s cultural and culinary delights. Nestled in the picturesque village of Muir of Ord, The Singleton of Glen Ord Distillery stands as a beacon of Highland hospitality and whisky craftsmanship, recently crowned as Scotland’s Leading Distillery Tour 2024 at the illustrious World Travel Awards (WTA), affectionately known as the ‘Tourism Oscars’.
Reopened in 2022 as part of Diageo’s monumental £185-million investment into Scotch tourism, The Singleton of Glen Ord stands as a testament to Scotland’s rich heritage and commitment to providing visitors with an immersive experience like no other. Designed to honour the art of slow-crafted single malt whisky while showcasing the best of Scotland’s offerings, the distillery invites both locals and tourists to embark on a journey through its storied history and unparalleled craftsmanship.
Situated conveniently along the North Coast 500 route and accessible by bus or train from Inverness, The Singleton of Glen Ord welcomes visitors with open arms, offering a myriad of experiences to suit every palate. From the Malt to Cask Tour, which grants a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the whisky-making process, to The Singleton Distillery Tour, a guided exploration of the distillation process paired with tastings of unique expressions, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
And let’s not forget the circular Bar & Deli area, where Singleton Sessions with local musicians and the finest Scottish fare await. It’s a sensory journey that tantalizes the taste buds and soothes the soul—a true Highland experience.
As Leigh Aitken, Brand Home Manager, aptly puts it, “To be named as Scotland’s Leading Distillery Tour is such an honour. As an official partner of the North Coast 500, we look forward to welcoming even more people into the Highlands to try out our award-winning whisky experiences.”
