Book Your Distillery Experience in Aberfeldy, Scotland

Summary: A great way to spend a couple of hours learning the history of this distillery, learning how whiskey is made and sampling a wee dram or two. Really interesting and a great cafe associated with it which was surprisingly good value for money.

Summary: Very informative and enjoyable tour delivered by Tim Loved the blending room experience with the hologram of the Master Blender and the Tasting room Cafe and gift shop are also very nice Staff were all very friendly and helpful

Summary: Good tour...informative, not too long, guide was knowledgeable. Samples/tastings were enjoyable. Nice grounds to walk around.

Summary: Despite not being a whisky drinker, (and with no desire to try), I have visited a few distilleries as I find the process and history of interest. Returning to this area for the first time in 25 years, Dewars was the only one I wanted to revisit. Dewars stood out in my memory as having a really interesting museum, and I wasn't disappointed on my return. The visitor centre has obviously been updated significantly since my last visit, and there is a very comfortable cafe and bar. All the staff were welcoming and friendly. The tour takes 90 minutes, starting with a 10 minute video and a quick look round the museum before meeting our guide for the distillery tour. I was pleased to be reassured that we could return to the museum at the end of the tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and clearly explained each part of the whisky making process. The tour finished with a tasting of 2 whiskies. The first was their 12 year old malt, but we all completed a survey on an ipad to determine the right whisky for our second taste. An update since our last visit - you can book a drivers ticket, and bottle up your samples to take away, also ideal for those of us who don't drink whisky! After a relaxed lunch in the cafe, we returned to finish looking round the museum. All in all, a very interesting day out, and very good value.

Summary: We scheduled the very first tour of the day, and had the wonderful good fortune to have our Guide Jim to ourselves. We asked a million questions, and he had a million answers! I don't think we could have learned more on any other whiskey tour. This distillery is rich with history and education, and Dewars has laid their tour out to bring the two together in the most spectacular manner. We were absolutely captivated at every turn. This was a top highlight of our two weeks in Scotland. Thankyou Jim!!

Summary: We visited the distillery with our friends and had a thoroughly enjoyable day. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. A special mention to Lara our guide who was all of the above and more with her knowledge & enthusiasm!

Summary: Had a great time. Craig who was our tour guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable and funny. My mum who is 78 also came on the tour and had no trouble getting around. Would definitely go again!!

Summary: I enjoyed hearing about the history and how the distillery originated. It was similar to most distillery tours where you hear and see how they create their spirits. It was interesting to hear that almost all of the whisky in Scotland are blends of several different spirits and then how they blend them is very secretive and what kind of barrels they use to mature the whisky. I discovered I like the whisky aged in a Sherry cask the best!

Summary: This was a very different type of distillery experience. Firstly we were taken to watch a short 10 minute film on the history of Aberfeldy and the distillery including the current owners and staff . Very informative and relative to our tour . From there we went to a small museum with some lovely artifacts from over the years . We were met by Lara who led us through the factory. The place was extremely quiet and spotless . Unfortunately there was No production in process so the distinct aroma of yeast and alcohol was not present . Laura explained the process very well . We then went onto see the master blender by AI . It was actually very well done . The sampling was done by answering questings as to what each individual prefers in taste and smell . From there you got a card with the type of whiskey adapted best to your pallet . The sampling was obviously the best part but my wife felt a bit rushed . I myself was driving so recieved my samples in small labeled bottles . Which I really enjoyed once home . Overall it was a very nice tour . Car parking was free . The shop sold many types of whiskey and the usual tourist goodies . We did purchase some minature bottles and a xmas gift .

Summary: Had a great time with Craig our tour guide! Very witty and full of whiskey knowledge. The few pounds extra for a third tasting was worth it. We would make time to come back.
