Visit guide

Aberlour Distillery

Whisky in Aberlour, Speyside. Not currently open for tours

Is it worth visiting?

Suits Aberlour drinkers already in Speyside who want a seated tasting. Taste of Aberlour is reasonable value for a short stop at £25 for 30 minutes, three single malts and new make spirit. It is not a distillery tour: the production site is closed to visitors during the expansion, so anyone who wants to see whisky being made should choose another Speyside distillery for now.
