Our guide Dan was informative and entertaining. What a wonderful story it is started so long ago by two innovative women. Wonderful to view the original building where the casks were stored
The tour concluded with a wonderful selection of whiskies. Can thoroughly recommend a tour here

Woman rock whisky and rye

Sep 2021 • Couples

Brilliant day out learning lots about whisky and getting slightly tipsy into the bargain. Reasonable entrance fee at £15, expert tour guide and just a great afternoon out. Also learnt that women rock as whisky makers and Johnnie Walker has a lot to do with keeping the distillery going. Beautiful scenery and as the designated driver got my take home samples which I have just had tonight. Thanks to all the staff especially Hamish and Dan

I was on the Cardhu Flavour journey tour and it was excellent.

It started off in the story room which was very modern and was a great start to the tour. Then we went round the distillery and got to see the warehouse too. We finished off in the tasting area where we had 4 different drams and a highball cocktail too.

Alisa was our guide and was very good. She explained everything in depth and made it easy to understand. Was willing to answer any questions and we didn’t feel rushed at any point.

The whole visitor centre looks amazing with plenty to choose from in the shop too. There was also an option to take any drams away in taster packs for any drivers.

Highly recommend to anyone to give Cardhu a visit

Thanks!

You must visit!

We visited the distillery on 13th September and went on the collection tour. This was the first whiskey tour I have been on and it was superb! Our tour guide, Alisa was excellent - informative, knowledgeable and just a lovely wee girl too! The whole tour was engaging and very interesting - I had no idea what it took to make a bottle of whiskey but I do now.
I was the designated driver so I got to take the taster whiskey home to enjoy at our leisure.
We took home a few liquid souvenirs too! An excellent way to spend a couple of hours and highly recommended.

Excellent tour!

One of the most comprehensive and entertaining distillery tours I’ve done. Brilliant staff all round who fitted us in at the last minute as a bigger group. Daniel, our guide was excellent and felt like a part of the group by the end of the day. He was, however, responsible for me spending more than I’d have liked in the shop! Would recommend to anyone

Wonderful visit

Had an amazing distillery tour and tasting! We were so pleasantly surprised, having been turned away from other distilleries who would only take a group of 2-6. It is well worth travelling to, the tour was very entertaining and insightful. Customer service was fab, Daniel, our tour guide was great fun! So informative and really engaging, it made all the difference. I don't think we would have had half as much fun at a different distillery. Cannot recommend highly enough!!
