Aberfeldy Distillery Visitor Centre Information

Just three miles from the birth place of founder John Dewar, the Aberfeldy Distillery is the only distillery built by the Dewar family. Steeped in history and craftsmanship, since 1898 our stills have produced the beautifully balanced Single Malt whisky at the heart of Dewar's Scotch. Distillery tours take place throughout the day and include access to our atmospheric warehouse and heritage centre. Browse the distillery shop for limited editions or ‘fill your own’ bottle of exclusive Aberfeldy Single Malt whisky. Take time to relax in our NEW café and enjoy your dram in our whisky lounge.

Tours of our traditional distillery take place throughout the day and include options for whisky aficionados!

TOURS

Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery Experience - £17.50

Visit the only distillery built by the Dewar family, discover the story of the world’s most awarded blended Scotch whisky, and see how we craft our Aberfeldy Single Malt. Your visit includes 2 x 15ml tastes, hosted by our expert guides to help you appreciate the exciting flavours. If you’re curious to learn more, add a tasting directly from the cask in our warehouse at the checkout!

*Option to add a tasting straight from the cask in the warehouse (£10)

Connoisseur Experience - £37.50

If you really want to understand more about Scotch, this experience begins with the same tour as the Dewar’s Aberfeldy Experience but is followed by an elevated tasting featuring a selection of five older, award winning whiskies – including our most recent innovations. You will also learn about our other exciting malt whisky distilleries. For the full culinary experience, upgrade to a food pairing at the checkout.

Become a Blender Experience - £45.00

Have you ever been curious about what a Master Blender’s job is like? Join us to discover a range of different whisky styles and the artistry that goes into blending, to create complexity and consistency. Then decide what your house style will be, and follow in the footsteps of John Dewar and Stephanie Macleod to create your own 100ml Blended Scotch Whisky to take home.

Drams of Your Dreams Experience - £120

This is your chance to taste our oldest and rarest expressions. One of our senior guides will talk to you about what whisky you have tried previously, what you like, and what you are curious to discover. We will then curate a bespoke tasting of five rare whiskies that show how the Dewar’s style has evolved and what is special about our Single Malt distilleries.
This will usually include a taste of our Dewar’s Double Double 32 year old, voted best whisky in the world, and Aberfeldy 40, our oldest ever expression. However, the final selection will be personal to you, and make the drams of your of dreams become a reality!

All ticket holders also receive exclusive offers on selected whiskies.

In addition, you can fill your own bottle of Aberfeldy Single Malt – exclusively available at Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery.
