The Glenlivet Distillery - Ballindalloch

During my visit to Scotland I wanted to have a whiskey tasting experience and I was thrilled to see the Glenlivet distillery was couple ours away from the place I stayed as Glenlivet is one of my favorite whiskeys. The day I had booked I was running late and called them and asked can they accommodate me and my friends for a later tour. Even it was clearly said they would not be able to reschedule for later time, in the booking details, they told me they will try their best to include me in a later tour as I mentioned I was visiting all the way from New York.

Now for the tour I should mention, Amber was really welcoming, knowledgeable and very pleasant the way she interact with guests. Thanks Amber.
The Distillery itself sits in a nice estate with beautiful surroundings. Inside the building is modern with a nice waiting area a bar and a store. Although they could improve the variety of merch they have in the store, they have decent offerings.

A truly stunning and modern distillery. The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming. Before our tour even began, we happily spent time by the crackling fireplace, enjoying the ambiance and the pre-tour anticipation.

The tour guides knowledge of the distillery's history was impressive, and they delivered it with such charm and wit, weaving in fascinating anecdotes that brought the past to life. Their storytelling ability truly elevated the experience beyond a simple tour; it felt more like an engaging conversation with a passionate expert.

Beyond the informative and entertaining tour itself, the location is simply breathtaking. The distillery's modern architecture is striking, and the surrounding area offers picturesque views. For those interested, a short walk away sits a magnificent castle – a perfect addition to a day already filled with history and charm. We spent some time exploring it before heading back to the distillery to enjoy a tasting of their incredible spirits. I highly recommend setting aside ample time to fully appreciate both the distillery and the castle.

Incredible grounds with an excellent tour. Good tastings at the end and an okay selection at the store. My only real complaint was the tour was absolutely a presentation and less of a genuine look at the distilling.

Glenlivet - Ross was our guide
Great personality, a wealth of knowledge, and consistent enthusiasm. He really caters to the crowd. He made one of the best experiences into the vacation of a lifetime. The facility was, comfortable, beautiful, and well maintained.

I had an amazing experience visiting the Glenlivet Distillery, and a big part of that was thanks to Kim. She explained everything so clearly and made the entire tour engaging and informative. Her passion and knowledge about the distillery and whisky-making process really stood out. It was by far one of the best distillery tours I've been on. Thank you, Kim, for making it so memorable!

Great tour and the shop sells bottles only available for purchase at the distillery. Purchased a very limited quantity single barrel bottle that our tour guide recommended and got it at a good price.

The visitor centre is good. The tour is nice but somehow what u see is video clips and whisky making gadgets. The real process of how whisky is made does not become clear.

The Glenlivet is a bulk producer and shows how industrial scale whisky can be achieved. No back breaking work, a sole person control centre, there are probably more people running the tours than actually making whisky - and that’s not a bad thing. Consistency is the goal, and lots of special lines to provide variety. Tasting session was ok so grab a few friends and enjoy the experience.
