Turas Mòr Skye & Raasay Adventure with Craig & Mitch (20% deposit)

Join Us for a Wild Island Whisky Adventure

September 4th – 7th, 2026

We are offering limited spaces for this once-in-a-lifetime journey to two of Scotland’s most breathtaking islands: Skye and Raasay. This is where bold spirits meet wild landscapes — and whisky is just the beginning.

As part of this intimate group experience, you’ll be among the very first in the world to taste our brand-new whisky release. You'll leave with a bottle in your hand, unforgettable memories, and a few new lifelong friends.

Don’t just hear about it. Be part of it.

Step Into Our Whisky History

Hosted by Craig Holmes (co-creator of Kinging It) and Mitch Bechard (whisky expert and Keeper of the Quaich), this is a whisky-fuelled adventure that blends tradition with wilderness, luxury with mischief, and stories with soul.

Think less “stuffy whisky tour” and more secret tastings by the sea, campfire drams under the stars, and Highland adventures you’ll talk about for years.
