Macallan Distillery in Speyside Scotland: tours

High on a hill overlooking the River Spey, with magnificent views across to Ben Rinnes, The Macallan Visitor Centre nestles within the glorious Easter Elchies Estate at Craigellachie.
Here you can take a guided whisky tour and discover the extraordinary care and attention to quality that lies behind our legendary Single Malt whisky.

Our regular tour takes in the full production process followed by the Warehouse 7 visit, where we tell 'The Story of Oak', bringing to life the vital role played by our exceptional oak casks in developing the distinctive character of The Macallan Single Malt Whisky. Then it's back to the Visitor Centre for a dram! (Pre-booking required)

Our 'Precious Tour', is an extended visit of the full production process, Warehouse 7 and 'The Story of Oak', ending with a tutored nosing and tasting presentation in the Visitor Centre across a range of Macallan whiskies! (Pre-booking required)
