3.Guided Tour in Aberfeldy Distillery with Connoisseur Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 25 reviews · from $26

At Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery, you begin with a short film and self-guided heritage centre visit, then join a small guided tour through the distillery and warehouse. Finish with six 15ml whisky tastings in the lounge, or request a takeaway cocktail pack if you are driving. Guide Michael is praised for his patient, friendly approach.

“Lots of history on this tour. Aberfeldy is originally John Dewar and Sons, one of the pioneer companies of Scotch whisky. Though it's a Bacardi company now the visitor's center is full of Dewar family history and worth the trip. Staff is very good at convincing you to buy a bottle with delicious samples too. Be warned, and check your personal exemption for taxes on the way home!”
