Guided Tour in Aberfeldy Distillery with Connoisseur Experience

5.Guided Tour in Aberfeldy Distillery with Connoisseur Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 25 reviews · from $26Best value

Tour Aberfeldy Distillery, explore Dewar family history, see whisky production, and taste six 15ml whiskies for $26 in Perthshire.

“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!”

“This is a good tour! Our small group visited two neat distilleries, each of which offered a different perspective on making whisky and let us sample different products. It was well worth the marginal additional cost to take the tour at both. During the driving sections between Edinburgh and the distilleries our guide did a good job of sharing information about Edinburgh, whisky, the areas we were traveling through, and Scotland in general. I never felt rushed and enjoyed the experience!”

The Falkirk wheel was an amazing feat of engineering which we appreciated and the Kelpies were incredible. Stirling castle was absolutely amazing and the history was of interest to us both. Our tour guide Naveed was very knowledgeable and well informed on all the places we visited as well as advising us of places of local interest as well”
