Glen Garioch Distillery
About Glen Garioch Distillery
One of the oldest operating distilleries in Scotland, Glen Garioch has been making its malt whisky in the quaint and historic market town of Oldmeldrum since 1797. Your clients will discover how Glen Garioch is returning to more traditional production processes with a focus on reducing the distillery’s carbon footprint, including our recently re-introduced floor maltings and direct-fired heating to the wash still – traditional methods still used by only a handful of whisky distilleries.
The distillery is situated only 30 minutes from Aberdeen city centre and 20 minutes from Aberdeen International Airport, and is easily accessed by public transport links. We offer a range of tours and experiences for small groups and FITs. Bespoke experiences and larger groups of up to 36 can be accommodated on request.
