Glen Garioch Distillery

A magical place to be. It's true what they say - you can never fully enjoy a dram of Glen Garioch until you have seen how and where it's made. One of the oldest operating distilleries in Scotland, Glen Garioch (pronounced Geery in the ancient Doric dialect still spoken in these parts) has been making its mighty malt in the quaint and historic market town of Oldmeldrum, near Aberdeen in North-East Scotland, ever since 1797. Shielded from the world's prying eyes, deep in the fertile Granary of Aberdeenshire and only ever produced in small, precious batches, Glen Garioch is a rare find indeed, but warmly appreciated by those who like a hearty Highland malt, non chill-filtered as nature intended, with a wholesome maltiness, honeyed sweetness and delicious creamy texture to savour. We offer a range of tours and tasting experiences, including the Founder's Tour - our classic tour and tasting experience, Warehouse No.4 - a behind-the-scenes tour with the opportunity to draw some samples direct from the cask, and Rare Pair - a paired cheese and whisky tasting experience exploring the flavours of our whisky in combination with locally sourced cheeses and chutneys. Advance booking is recommended to avoid disappointment. Please visit our website to find out about the tours and experiences we have available.
