Scottish distillery on NC500 picks up award for offering 'world's best tours'

A SCOTTISH whisky distillery located on the popular NC500 route has been awarded for offering the best tours in the world.

The Singleton of Glen Ord Distillery on the edge of the Black Isle in the Highlands picked up a prize at the 2024 World Travel Awards.

The global awards celebrates the very best experiences across a range of sectors, including travel, tourism and hospitality.

Located just 15 miles west of Inverness, the distillery won the World’s Leading Whisky Distillery Tour prize.

Commenting, brand home manager at the distillery Leigh Aitken said: “Being crowned the World’s Leading Whisky Distillery Tour is a moment we will never forget.

“Scotland is home to so many fabulous whisky experiences so to be awarded this accolade is truly an honour.”

It’s not the first time the distillery has picked up a big prize as we told last year how it picked up a visitor attraction of the year award in 2023.

The distillery produces 12-year-old, 15-year-old and 18-year-old single malts.

Aitken added: “Our team work exceptionally hard to give guests the best possible experience.

“Whether it’s trying exclusive and rare whiskies, listening to live music sessions at our Singleton Sessions, or enjoying the wonderful stories associated with The Singleton History, our visitors always leave with plenty of memories and a strong desire to return.”
