Best Whisky Distillery Tours & Tastings in Speyside
The Speyside distilleries which are open to visitors all run distillery tours (except Aberlour Distillery*), all of which are highly rated. They vary in duration, mainly one to two hours. Some are even longer and more in depth e.g. Balvenie. The format is usuallly a distillery tour around the production areas and sometimes the warehouse. Then it's usually back to the visitor centre for a tutored guided whisky tasting. Due to ongoing construction, Aberlour Distillery is currently open for tasting experiences only (not tours).
Many Speyside distilleries have range of tours, tastings and experiences. It can be quite a task to find the best ones for your particular interests and preferences as they specialise in different aspects of whisky production and themes.
We can integrate one or more of these into your Speyside Whisky Tours for added interest especially on a two or three day whisky tour. This is just a brief overview of what's available.
