Distillery Tours

No visit to the Scottish Highlands will truly be complete without taking a tour of a traditional Scottish distillery. Pitlochry sits at the heart of Scotland’s whisky country and is fortunate enough to have world-renowned distilleries at the heart of the town so you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to distillery tours. Whether you’re a connoisseur or just curious, the region’s renowned distilleries offer guided tours, tastings, and stories that bring Scotland’s national drink to life.

Discover centuries of craftsmanship with a distillery tour in and around Pitlochry during your stay at one of our Pitlochry Hotels.

Bell’s Blair Athol Distillery

The Bell’s Blair Athol Distillery is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland. Set in open moorland south of the town, in the foothills of the Grampian mountains, Blair Athol’s ancient source of water, the Allt Dour, flows through the grounds from the slopes of Ben Vrackie, contributing to the whisky’s mellow quality and smooth finish.

Advance booking for all tours and experiences is advised to avoid disappointment.

Dewars Distillery

Dewar’s Distillery is located on the outskirts of the picturesque small market town of Aberfeldy, just over 20 minutes from Pitlochry Town. Enjoy their interactive exhibition and discover how they double age for extra smoothness. Afterwards, relax in their welcoming café and Whisky Lounge and enjoy a whisky tasting from the John Dewar & Sons Fine Scotch Whisky Emporium or fill your own bottle from their hand-selected casks.

Dewar’s is a working distillery and sometimes opening times may vary. Booking online is advised to secure your experience.
