Tours Little’s goes the extra mile for whisky connoisseurs


Chauffeur company Little’s has taken an innovative step to meet growing global demand for luxury tours of the country’s world-renowned whisky distilleries. Twenty of Little’s chauffeurs


have been tutored in the history of Scotland’s whisky industry and in the art of whisky making and tasting, ensuring that they can tell clients the story of the nation’s great whiskies while they drive them from distillery to distillery.


The tailored whisky training


day was organised by experts at the Tennent’s Training Academy in Glasgow, for Homecoming Scotland’s ‘Whisky Month’. Little’s’ whisky tours were


designed around each booking, making each tour unique. Depending on your interests,


whisky tours could be combined with tracing ancestry, discovering famous film locations or exploring famous castles.
