This is the largest whisky’s distillery in Scotland at the moment. The Glenfiddich distillery is the family run which is impressive. The production is huge in comparison to other malt distilleries. There are tours, tastings, whisky and gift shop, bar area and more on site. Everything is a very high quality. The choice of whiskeys is from standard 12yo to cask strength and special releases. Overall, it is very impressive distillery.
The lounge was the highlight for us as it was very comfy and cozy after a chilly hike. Much needed whiskey antifreeze was delivered and thoroughly explained by the lovely bar ladies. A very informative group explained the tasting in as much or little detail as needed. The gift shop was well staffed and knowledgeable as well especially during your own bottling experience. I recommend self bottling and at only £160 it's a steal compared to the £220+ in other distilleries around.
I had an outstanding experience during the Glenfiddich Distillery tour, and I'm more than happy to give it a 5-star rating. My dad and I were truly impressed by the immense scale of the production process. It was awe-inspiring to witness the craftsmanship on such a grand level.
The distillery's buildings were simply breathtaking, with the beautiful stills stealing the show. These gleaming copper giants added an artistic touch to the tour, making it a visual delight. It's not every day you get to see such magnificent equipment in action.
Additionally, the rich history of Glenfiddich as a family-owned business added depth to the experience. Learning about their legacy and dedication to quality over the years was both informative and heartwarming. Overall, the Glenfiddich Distillery tour offers a perfect blend of scale, aesthetics, and heritage that my dad and I thoroughly enjoyed, earning it a well-deserved 5-star rating.

We did the Solera tour and it was worth every bit. We made own our bottle and got an amazing tour with a Balvenie tour guide so we got to hear the combined history of the distilleries. Suggestion, go on the weekend. Can't say more 😉. Definitely would go again just for the tasting room.
I recently had the pleasure of taking a whisky tour at the Glenfiddich distillery, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. Our tour guide, Ryan, was exceptional in every way. His in-depth knowledge of whisky and the history behind Glenfiddich truly enhanced the tour.
The tour itself was well-organized, and we got to see every step of the whisky production, from the malted barley to the aging casks. And of course, the tasting session was a highlight. The selection of whiskies we sampled was outstanding.
I can't recommend this tour enough, and a special thanks to Ryan for making it such a memorable experience. If you're a whisky enthusiast or just curious to learn more, this tour at Glenfiddich is a must-do. Five stars all the way!
Glenfiddich scotch whisky is the #1 best selling whisky in the world and the distillery represents that in amazing style!
The location is beautiful amongst the rolling hills and vibrant green grass. Picture perfect!
The distillery is impressive, with gorgeous stills and an amazing operation.
You must visit the gift shop! So many amazing items to peruse! I left with a flask, a jug, a dropper and I even was able to fill my own bottle of Glenfiddich, sign my name on the label and apply it myself! It came with a very nice wooden box to store it in.
I absolutely have to give a shout out to Morag, a great tour guide who kept us laughing the entire time, but also brought the history of Glenfiddich to life.
Even though I saw everything, I would definitely return simply to go to the whiskey lounge for a slice of whisky cake and dram of exclusive scotch not sold anywhere else in the world!
If you go to Scotland, this is a must visit!
Thank you, Morag!
We participated in the Glenfiddich Solera Whisky Tour and we had a good time learning about making whisky. The tour was supposed to 1.5 hours but we went for 2 hours plus. Our guide was very helpful and funny. The still room was very cool to see with all of the copper stills. We loved the smell of fermentation that wafted through the air around the distillery. The purpose of the tour was to first learn about how Glenfiddich made whisky then take a shot at blending our own from different casks of whisky. That was really fun and the concoctions that we all made ran the gamut. All in—this was a fun and unique experience.
Tour guide was really informative and knowledgeable.
Must visit place. Quite and naturally blessed village.
The tickets for tours are more easy to get hold of than for the Balvennie next door - Glenfiddich keep some to one side for walk-ins. It's not quite as comprehensive a tour as at the Balvennie, but it's cheaper and the facilities were amazing - this is a properly high-throughout facility but kept spotless for visitors. The lounge was a lovely way to end our visit for a bit of lunch and a dram or two.
Beautiful buildings and location, very nice shop with free samples. Charming hosts. Closed for tours Mo/Tu, but the shop is open every day.
