Glenfarclas Distillery		 After a morning visit to Aberlour Distillery for a tutored tour and tasting, definitely one of the best tours available in Scotland and very in-depth, we head off to Dufftown the home of seven distilleries.
In Dufftown we can stop for a bite of lunch and possibly a look through the whisky shops. This will be followed by a visit to the Speyside Cooperage where we can see them make and repair the casks used to store the whisky.
