Macallan Distillery in Speyside Scotland
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)

During the summer every year, The Macallan stops production and enters the ‘Silent Season’ when maintenance is carried out in the Distillery. This takes place from the end of June until the beginning of August. Unfortunately, during this time, we cannot take visitors on a Distillery tour, but we do have a limited tour incorporating a visit to Warehouse 7 and ‘The Story of Oak’, ending with a dram in the Visitor Centre.
SILENT SEASON DATES FOR 2007 ARE 29TH JUNE TO 27TH JULY INCLUSIVE. <./b>
