    This was our first distillery tour in Scotland. I'm not sure why the low reviews from other…read morepeople, maybe they didn't do their Scotland research but before coming to the country the first thing I came across was "always make reservations for distilleries". Never assume you can walk in on a tour. Especially for a small town, less well known distillery like this one. Well I emailed them several weeks in advance telling them I'd be coming in on the late train from Glasgow (turns out we came in early) but when we arrived, it seemed like they were going to hold the tour for us. ...how considerate (see what contacting in advance does, I was also interested in a higher priced tour so that might have helped) The basic tour is £5 and includes one whisky sample at the end, but you can upgrade to the tasting tour £18 which includes 3 additional samples (just one of us did it, my hubby was getting tired of whisky samples. ....crazy I know) Both tours are the same, Start with a cute, funny, but outdated and cheesy movie, then move through the distilling process which is both educational and a feast for the senses (does anyone ever get contact drink from all the fumes? ). After the tours we end up in the tasting room where each bottle they offer for sale was explained and we tried their youngest blended whisky. For those of us on the tasting tour we got to sample a 12 year blend, a very Peaty single malt ( made from a middle ages recipe) no longer sold, and their cask strength blended called glen Coe (great bouquet on that one). I ended up wanting to buy something on the sweeter side so they let me sample their blue bottle of dew (smelled fruity and like honey....didn't taste that way though) and I ended up buying that blended bottle as well as another bottle of something else. It's not that well known so if you see their whisky around you'll likely only get to purchase the 10 yr in stores but they have a great variety in their shop. I appreciate how they didn't rush us even though we (and another couple were the last customers) and when we left it had been clear they had been waiting for us to close up and go home. They were very nice and chatted and joked with us about whisky etc. We had a great time and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this distillery to others.

    A Taste & a Tour I noticed some of the very mixed reviews…read morehere. I think I know what happened. Our tour guide was an actual production line worker. If you are lucky enough to get him, you will have a very informative tour. Sorry, I don't remember his name. He answered every question, and he was thorough about the production techniques in distilling fine whiskey. Even with our large group, he conveyed interest and pride in Ben Nevis whiskey. I think a tour here depends on getting the right guide. Our guide made the tour for us.

    Means "meeting place" in Gaelic, its an interesting Highlands Single Malt brewery where you can…read morejoin tours or go for samples and flights. Interestingly, its now owned by Diageo which is known for their Johhnie Walker Blended Whiskey. The distillery is located near fresh spring water and abundant peat from the nearby bogs. It is also the highest distillery in Scotland, sitting in the mountains of the Highlands. The history dates back to the late 18th Century and though its changed owners multiple times you still get a deep sense of tradition. They have aging barrels stained black from generations of whisky sitting around as decoration. 30 Year Old: 11 quid a dram, they told me they are never going to use the specific combination of barrel, temperature, timing so this batch was very special. I finished it so much the glass looked like it was brand new when I gave it back. There's also a large giftshop with clothing, accessories, home goods, foods, and of course a multitude of different Whiskys. They also had an interesting "bottle your own" 12 year with custom label for 130 pounds.

    As you embark on your journey towards the Highlands, a stop at Dalwhinnie is worthwhile. We weren't…read moresure of our timing so opted to just drop in rather than book a tour. This was a good decision as you never know how long your journey will take while traveling throughout the various parts of Scotland. They have a tasting room inside and many interesting offerings to explore. The prices may seem high at first but it's because they are pouring a lot more than the usual 25ml pour. While they have a lot of flight options, we chose to build our own with options that are only available at the distillery. Why try something you can get elsewhere. I love that they were paired with chocolate. That really set the experience a part. I wish they served smaller portions so you could try more, but it was a good experience and we appreciated the knowledgeable staff!
