Muddy Funker Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Hi Guys, I've been living up in Scotland for a couple of years and still haven't done a distillery tour. My Dad's up for a few days this weekend so thought it about time I book one. I'm blessed that I can choose from quite a few. I'm on the north east so within striking distance of many well known distilleries. Aberlour is the one I'm leaning to at the moment but I'm open to any recommendations. Thanks.

Vince Green Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Its probably not near enough to you but Edradour near Pitlochry is regarded as the best, (ie most entertaining), tour. No doubt there are many who will disagree, there are many contenders. Some are industrial factories, my advice is research the small quirky ones Edited July 24, 2018 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yates Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Have a weeks holiday on Islay, you have at least seven distillerys to have a go at during the week. A couple were also doing Gin when we were there last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchy trigger Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Glenfiddich is good, last time got to try some that I had not seen for sale in the shops, (we asked) Swedish fishing pal I took was well impressed, was like a kid in a sweet shop in the shop recommend you do the cooperage tour behind, cannot believe how they throw those barrels around, do those guys earn their money, you can tell they are on piecework Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Funker Posted July 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Cheers guys. Went with Aberlour in the end as spaces were running out quickly. Will do the Glenfiddich one at some point, I've driven past it loads of times and it's normally pretty crowded. Unfortunately the one in Pitlochry is a 3 hour drive away.

defender Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 I went round a few a while ago took advantage of not driving, started with one in keith. I just turned up and didn't book, one I went to we were on a main road and the traffic ground to a halt managed to get down the slip road on a turn off with a sign to another distillery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3vert Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Done Aberlour one drunken afternoon a few years ago!! Two options from memory and I chose the option with the most drams at the end, as did the wife! From memory it was 7 drams, Wife sipped each one then passed onto me! After 14 drams I staggered incoherent back to our digs at Craigalleghie in some nick I must say!! You will enjoy it :-) Great wee distillery!

Muddy Funker Posted July 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Haha thanks again, I'll look forward to this one. I'll have to try that one next time Sako, driven past it quite a few times. I'm outskirts of New Deer now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 20 mins away and have plenty ground round Cuminestown if you ever fancy a morning or evening out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
