I was treated by my grown up sons to this exceptional whisky distillery tour at Balvanie and I can’t recommend it enough. We were met by Charlie who was our guide for the day and from the outset it was evident this tour was going to be a cracker. Charlie had a very relaxed and tranquil manner, it was clear he had a passion for the Balvanie brand, its traditions and the ethics the family run distillery holds dear. Charlies knowledge of the history and origins of the distillery, the processes and the care and attention that goes into creating this phenomenal whisky was exceptional. The tour moved us around this amazing site and at each stage we were given nuggets of detail and history that kept the tour intriguing and personal. The whisky tasting after the tour was a fantastic experience, not only due to the superb whisky we were lucky enough to try, but also because of the knowledge, passion and flair in which Charlie delivered the intricacies of the individual whiskies themselves. Thank you Charlie, you made our day.…

This little distillery is tucked away off the main road but what a distillery it is. Charlie was our guide on our personalised tour and couldn’t speak highly enough of this gent. Made the tour personalised and went behind the scenes like no other tour we had been on. Learnt a load about this family ran distillery and the tasting set was unreal. It’s easily become my favourite whisky from this tour and experience alone. Well worth the money and time. You won’t regret it!…
