Distillery tour, whisky tasting and dinner at the Famous Grouse, Crieff
Nothing has ever been ordinary about Glenturret. Since its origins among the smugglers and illicit stills of the 18th Century, Scotland’s oldest distillery has had a singular life.
Only the Famous Grouse distillery will take you to where whisky matures for up to 30 years.
Whisky booms and prohibition might have ruffled its feathers, but Glenturret weathered it all and these days its doors are open to welcome visitors.
Neil Cameron is the production manager at Glenturret and he’ll show you what makes ‘the water of life’ so special. From choosing barley, through distillation to picking the perfect cask, you will experience the whisky’s journey all the way to the tasting glass.
In the unique surroundings of the Malt Warehouse, amidst casks of maturing whisky, you’ll be sampling the full Famous Grouse Malt range. This is followed by a dinner you’ll really enjoy – 3 sumptuous courses.
Cost £65
