Founded in 1879, Aberlour Distillery is a small and intimate distillery that holds a special place in the hearts of malt lovers.

Steeped in centuries of legend and surrounded by the dramatic Highland scenery of Ben Rinnes, Aberlour lies at the very heart of Speyside, where the Lour burn joins the River Spey, where the exceptionally pure and soft spring water drawn from nearby natural springs is used for making Aberlour whisky.

No distillery tours are currently operating due to renovation works, but you will have the option to do an optional whisky tasting.

The Macallan Distillery
The Macallan has been distilling whisky since 1824, and is possibly one of the most famous brands worldwide.

The ward-winning Macallan Distillery visitor centre, built in 2018, is only available by appointment. To finish off our exploration of Speyside, we will book you a table at the Macallan bar, where you can order 'a la carte' from the most comprehensive selection of Macallan whiskies you will ever see in a single place in your life, including a number of bottles of the rarest single malts, dating back over 80 years.

The impressive circular whisky bar has one of the best views of Speyside, overlooking the Highland landscape and the iconic Easter Elchies House — The Macallan Spiritual Home and integral to the brand since 1824. From the bar you can also view the 18m-high glass wall comprised of 840 whisky bottles, which forms an archive of Macallan's liquid history.
