The River Spey near Aberlour

Aberlour Distillery Tour from Inverness

In the village of Aberlour on the River Spey. Smaller and more personal than the big-name visits.

About the visit

Drive: about 1 hour 25 minutes each way Private / small group

Aberlour is a village on the River Spey, and the distillery sits right in it. It is a good choice if you want something a little more personal than the biggest names, with time to walk by the river as well. Visits generally need booking ahead.

  • Pickup — your hotel or a central spot in Inverness

  • Aberlour — Aberlour-on-Spey, Speyside (roughly 60 miles from Inverness)

  • A visit at a Speyside distillery in a pretty river village

  • Tasting of the Aberlour range (options depend on the tour you book)

  • The River Spey just outside the door

  • A driver who doesn't drink — so everyone in the group gets to taste

Works well with The Macallan and Glenfiddich in the same day.
