You start in a barrel-shaped ride through a distillery day, then sniff your way through regional aromas to learn what peat is and why Highland and Islay taste so different. It ends in a room lined with one of the biggest Scotch collections anywhere. The Silver Tour lasts about 50 minutes and includes a dram.
