The gal that served us was very knowledgeable on their different whiskys and they have many different tastings you can choose from. Glen Moray is a Speyside whisky so the tasting notes were sweet with notes of vanilla, caramel, dried fruits. All the whiskys were smooth and enjoyable. This was a great place to come for a tasting and learn about their different whiskys.

Probably one of the biggest tours of a distillery in the area. The team have been doing it for…read moreyears and they have a great story and a couple of tour experiences. If you visit during the summer months, it gets busy. In the off season, you can get a tour almost to yourself and it's well with the £10 for the tour and whisky tasting. This is generally my go to distillery tour when I'm in the area. Good tour, tasting and schedules.

Our stop at Balblair the historic distillery from 1790 was exceptional. The history and seeing the…read moreprocess from start to finish was entertainingly educational. Simon, our guide made sure everyone understood his teachings and answered everyone's questions. We tasted the 12 and 15 year Scotches and were even given free Scotch glasses.

After the tour we went to the tasting room and tried the 12 yo and 15 yo whisky. It was exactly what I wanted in a tour, not too much, just enough detail and personal attention. I highly recommend a visit, approx 50 min drive north of Inverness

American Tourist here…read more The distillery is medium sized, not tiny but not large like Glenfiddich or Macallan. They actually pretty sizable selection of whisky for tasting. I went up to the tasting area to purchase a tasting and apparently it was on the house! So that's a definitely plus. There are several tables and seating areas inside as well as a small showroom type area that has a miniature still, photos, and tools. There isn't much of an outside area to explore. Overall it's more of a stop if you pass by distillery rather then a hey let's plan our day around it distillery.

Very impressed. This was on our passport so we decided to go. The tour was really well done, our…read moreguide was informative and fun. The process explained as to how they get the "flavors" in the whisky was excellent. The best part was a the tasting. I really thought I wouldn't like this thinking it would be too "fruity". Wow was I wrong. New favorite! Bought 12, 15 and 18. I have not done that before!! Truly worth stopping in as it is not sold in the united states. Hope they will expand soon! Well done Singleton!!

We highly enjoyed our time at The GlenAllachie!…read more The GlenAllachie isn't one of those fancy, sprawling corporate distillers. It's smaller, more personal, and a welcome breath of fresh air after a few of the big names down the way. We found our way to the tasting room, which is apparently quite new, and delightful. My only suggestion for improvement is some sound absorption materials around. One loud guy can really take over the whole room in a place like this, and from what I've seen, there are often loud guys at places such as this. We each selected a flight for tasting, and they were expertly poured. We were given detailed info about our selections and were happy to head over to the small but well-appointed gift shop to make some purchases. Definitely make The GlenAllachie a part of your Whisky adventure in Speyside! Their Whisky is delicious and the folks there are kind and fun.

This place is soooo beautiful and while my husband was able to purchase a distillery exclusive bottle, that wasn't even the best part. The best part was getting to feed digestives to the highland cows. We had heard that one of the distilleries had highland cows that we could feed, but couldn't remember which one. So I was ecstatic when we saw the cows on the way into the gift shop. We checked with the friendly staff inside to make sure we were allowed to feed them and after purchasing a bottle I practically ran to car to get the digestives. The cows were kind of far out so I tosses several digestives like a frisbee toward them and I was able to lure two of them close enough to feed them. One in particular was very eager and licked his tongue out to grab the digestives. Come prepared for a beautiful tasting and bring digestives if you want to make a couple bovine friends!

We had such a wonderful time on our tour! I think they only downside was that our tour was "early"…read moremorning (10am) and there are very limited options in the area for breakfast and going to a distillery tour on an empty stomach is not an ideal situation. However, we still enjoyed touring the property and learning about its rich history from our wonderful tour guide, I wish I could remember the young man's name as he did a great job with answering all the questions people had and still getting through everything at a nice pace. I was driving and unable to really enjoy them at the distillery but they gave me take home bottles and I enjoyed them back in our hotel room. I would definitely recommend making this one of your stops if your in the area! I can't wait to come back and enjoy them on site next time

Our guide was an absolute gem--super knowledgeable with just the right amount of humor to keep things engaging. We sampled the Glenlivet 12 and 15 (both smooth and delicious) and learned that the Glenlivet 13 is a Taiwan exclusive--who knew? Our tour group was a fun mix of folks from America, Britain, and Germany, making the experience even livelier. Everything was well-organized, clean, and welcoming--definitely a fantastic way to kick off our whiskey journey. If this was just the beginning, we knew we were in for a great trip!

This was the first distillery my two brothers and I stopped at in Scotland. It set a very high bar…read more They offer two tours a day, at 10am and 2pm Monday-Friday. Unfortunately for us we arrived right in the middle of these two times. Fortunately for us when we went into the office Lavigne offered to do a private tasting for us for a donation to some local charities. Lavigne sat us down in the tasting room which smelled amazing. She was incredibly personable and knowledgeable. My brothers sampled five whiskies (I as the DD received three very generous vials full of the whiskies to drink later which is standard in Scotland. Not the pour size, that was unique, but the vials of liquor to go). She answered all of our questions and gave us some great info. She easily spent thirty minutes with us. She didn't stick to a stiff script and cut a lot of the crap about tasting guidelines that some other distilleries spew out. She also gave us some great advice on other distilleries to go check out. The manager came in and joined us for a few minutes just to chat. The whole tasting felt more like a conversation than an informational session. It was a great experience and we'd all gladly come back. We ended up buying a few bottles of their whiskey which was fantastic.

With as much colour, flavor and fragrance as the barrels contribute to whisky, this tour teaches you just how important cooperage work is. The tour guide was one of my favorites on the whisky trail. She was funny, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much about what goes into barrel making and repair, it really is a key part of making whisky. I highly recommend this tour if you are a whisky connoisseur.

American Tourist here…read more The property is not particularly impressive in either size or scenery. The tour is cheap (6 GBP) and you can reserve easily through their website. The tour itself is pretty standard, you walk through the production area and the guide gives a explanation of the distillery process. At the end you get your choice of a dram of the standard 12 year, the distiller's edition, or the special edition distillery only single malt. At least those were the options when we were there. You can get everything done in around an hour. If you are a tourist pressed for time I would suggest visiting one of the other bigger more impressive distilleries like Macallan or Glenfiddich instead...those would be more of an "experience." Unless of course you are a big fan of Cragganmore, in which case check it out.

An excellent and highly knowledgeable tour (thank you, Carol!) featuring many of the un-modernized…read moreaspects of distilling at Cragganmore. Some places use stainless steel where they use Douglas Fir, for example, and the condensers are of an older sort. Very good to have the tasting in the Club Room rather than a shop. Recommended!
