One of the best distillery tours I've been on. A very knowledgeable guide and a nice, informative tasting at the end.

We have a 'whisky passport', so the tour was free. Probably not too different to other distilleries, but informative all the same. They only make one malt here, with almost all of it being exported to s.e. Asia. After a sample of 'The Singleton of Glen Ord' was able to try others of Diageo stable for comparison.

Interesting distillery. We went there with friends. Joined the 'Friends of Classic Malts' which is free and gives you a 'Passport'. This allows you free yours within other distilleries owned by the Diageo group, so woth getting. Tour guide was okay but very quick to disappear and had to ask to try other malt whiskies from the other distilleries within... More

We dropped by for a brief stop en route to the Outer Hebrides.The presentation and exhibits are extremely polished and corporate, and gloss over a lot of interesting history, actually, that exists among Scotland's breweries.The staff were fabulously friendly though.

We were able to take a city bus from Inverness out to the village Muir of Ord and then a short walk (less than a mile) down a country road to the distillery. They have a small, but informative museum of sorts that is a prelude to the tour itself. The guide took us through several buildings and explained the... More
