We were here back in 2019 when the distillery did conduct tours pre-pandemic era. The tour was great in how they let you sample and understand their product. My favorite was their cream whiskey which I wished was sold in the US. I now have special ordered it to be shipped, so we can enjoy it from home. I do hope one day they are able to recover from whatever losses they suffered from the pandemic, so they are able to give tours again. We will continue to support by buying through the retailer online we use.

I visited twice while staying in Pitlochry. The first time I took the your. It's a lovely ride to…read morethe distillery, which is just outside of Pitlochry. There is ample parking in a lot across the street. I highly recommend taking a tour. The tour that I took was fun and informative. Our guide, Tara, was friendly and knowledgeable of the distillery and the whisky-making processes. The grounds are beautiful! The distillery is still making whisky the old-fashioned way. They no longer malt barley here (they get it delivered from another company located near Inverness) but they do the rest right there. You won't see a lot of electronic equipment controlling the equipment but you will see a lot of valves and workers scurrying about making adjustments. To me, the tradition of whisky-making being kept alive at Edradour makes it worth visiting...and keeping a bottle or two in your bar!

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!

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.

I had no idea whiskey distilling is so complicated. After the tasting I asked if they could call us a cab back to Saint Andrew's hotel. The tour director, a pleasant German man I can't remember his name said, taxi? Hell no. I'm getting off in 15 minutes and I drive right past there on my way home. He directed us to wait in the cafe and brought us two drams of Kingsbarns flagship whiskey called Doocot to sip while he locked up. He chatted about his love for whiskey distilling all the way to our drop off. He loves his job no doubt. An amazing experience from start to finish and I highly recommend you visit here. Go early and take the walking path to the beach.

It is a gorgeous facility where they distill scotch whiskey and gins. We took their gin tour and it was SO informative and fun. We absolutely loved it! We got to sample 4 of their different small-batch gins, learn about their flavor profiles, the history of gin, and what they pair best with. They even use ingredients from their garden on site in their gins! I would recommend this awesome spot to anyone looking to sample some "lowland" scotch whiskies and gin! YUM!

The Edinburgh Gin Distillery has recently had a BIG glow-up!

The new state of the art space is absolutely enormous, very modern and sleek, multi-leveled with enormous windows to let in loads of natural light (and, artistically I imagine, to allow visuals of the city to spill into the room with you), and has a lot going on. As of writing this, you can do a: 1. Classic Tour & Tasting (75 minutes, £28 per person) 2. Gin & Chocolate Pairing (90 minutes, £35 per person) 3. Mix & Muddle Cocktail Class (120 minutes, £50 per person) 4. Gin Making Experience (3 hours, £140 per person) I can't speak to any of them at this point, but whichever you choose BOOK IN ADVANCE. You can also stop by to simply pick-up a bottle at their shop or have a drink at their bar which is open to the public (in nicer weather, enjoy their rooftop terrace). I was lucky enough to be here on their opening weekend, and was allowed a private tasting (still not entirely sure how that happened). The Rhubarb & Ginger gin is lovely and well rounded, the Orange & Basil is a little too basil forward for me, the Raspberry Gin is good but I think Stirling Distillery has them beat there, all of the liqueurs are somehow fantastic, but most importantly: if it's available, you have to get the tiramisu gin. It's one of the most unique things I've ever tasted!!! This is my favorite gin in the world; we always have a bottle of Seaside on hand! I'm excited to return with my partner and have a new tour and tasting experience different from their previous cellars vibe.
