Dalwhinnie Distillery, Dalwhinnie

Tried to book online but our form timed out and we had no space left on the tour. We went along anyway as the distillery was on our way home. We spoke to Angela who said it should be fine. We then had a tour on our own before the main tour started. Angela is a great guide who is very passionate and knowledgeable. I couldn't try the whisky as I was driving. We still had the tasting session which my partner got to enjoy every sip of. I got to go through each step and got a box to take my tasters and chocolate home in. I had them later in the night and tried to remember everything from during the tasting earlier. Was truly brilliant and well worth the money. You get some small whisky glasses and 10% of what you buy (I don't know if it's off everything but we got it off each thing we bought. It might have been hard to see, but we were smiling the entire time under our masks.

The distillery is located in the beautiful Scottish highlands with amazing views of the valley. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, explained everything in great detail, extremely welcoming and answered all our questions. The tasting room of the distillery was a small cozy room with a max capacity of 8 people which made the tasting experience quite intimate compared to the other big distilleries. They also paired each tasting with a chocolate truffle which made the tasting even better for me. They also have small glass bottles which they call driver packs for drivers to do their tasting after reaching the accomodation.
