It’s like something plucked from a Scottish whisky travel fantasy: hop aboard the opulent carriages of The Royal Scotsman, A Belmond Train, and voyage from Edinburgh to Dufftown and back, enjoying exclusive experiences and magnificent scenery along the way.
This bucket-list trip could be yours to look forward to thanks to Glenfiddich, one of the world’s most luxurious malt whisky brands – and the most awarded single-malt whisky out there. The journey to the home of Glenfiddich begins in Edinburgh and then heads towards Speyside to stop for an overnight stay in Dufftown, which will include an indulgent hosted dinner, tastings of several remarkable single malt Scotch whiskies and an exclusive behind-the-scenes distillery experience.
This rich heritage will be explored by the lucky winners, who will experience how the whisky makers of Dufftown create pioneering malts, with a celebratory lunch following the tour and tastings. Then it will be time to board the Royal Scotsman for an unforgettable overnight journey back to Edinburgh. The glamorous Belmond train is like a palace on wheels; known for its Edwardian elegance, plush suites and scenic Scottish routes, it also features an observation car, where you can breathe in the fresh Scottish air from an exhilarating open veranda.
As the legendary train winds past soaring peaks and through dramatic valleys, you’ll enjoy a unique dinner in a grand wood-panelled dining car, feasting on top Scottish produce presented with a modern flourish, hosted by Mark Thomson, Glenfiddich Ambassador to Scotland, accompanied by fine wines and the exceptional malt whiskies you’ll have been enlightened about during the day.
After lively conversation with your fellow passengers, it will be time to retreat to your suite, where a bed clad in soft Scottish wools awaits to accommodate a blissful slumber.
