MACALLAN DISTILLERY TOUR

During our whisky tours in Speyside, many of our customers make sure they visit the Macallan distillery and join the world famous Macallan distillery tour. One of the most iconic Scotch whiskies in the world, the Macallan distillery moved to new premises on the Macallan estate in 2018.

Around £140 million was spent on the new Macallan distillery and many whisky experts view the Macallan distillery tour experience as the future of whisky.

In addition to the exquisite whiskies that Macallan has on offer, the distillery recently won the Andrew Doolan Best Building in Scotland award from the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) and is quite something to behold.

The judges’ comments: “The attention to detail and the consistency and control of aesthetic decisions in this building is incredibly impressive. A worthy winner.”

Inspired by the beautiful surrounding landscape and the whisky production process, which has taken place on The Macallan Estate since 1824, the structure’s profile resembles ancient Scottish earthworks.

Toby Jeavons, project architect said: ‘We are thrilled that The Macallan distillery has been awarded the Doolan for 2019. It was an incredible project to have been a part of and which was only possible due to our forward-looking and ambitious client in The Macallan.

The small group style Macallan distillery tours that are on offer are guided by a local whisky expert, ranging from 2.5 to 4 hours, there are a few options to choose from for your Macallan distillery tour. Book early to confirm your place.
