Old Pulteney Distillery — Attraction in Scotland

I visited this distillery a few weeks ago specifically based on what I'd heard from others who'd been there and I wasn't disappointed. The magnificent Susan showed us around in her role as Tourguide and then introduced us to several different expressions made there. It was at this point I had to leave in order to get my taxi to the train station so I could go off and visit another distillery in the afternoon so I really appreciated that Susan's colleagues had carefully bubble wrapped some sample bottles for me to take away with me and do my sampling later. I also appreciated their warmth, hospitality and the fact that staff let me stow my suitcase rather than having to lug it around with me on the tour route.

A Must-Do on the NC500 – Fantastic Tour at Old Pulteney Distillery!

Fabulous team! Alan is a 5* host, he and Daniel are extremely knowledgeable and glad to share that knowledge. They were absolutely on it with wheelchair accessibility for mum. We had noticed a step to the entrance, however they have an accessible entrance which they were pleased to assist us in accessing the store via. They also have an accessible toilet in case you need it. We brought home a Whiskey that can only be purchased on site, and mum thoroughly enjoyed learning about the differences in the Whiskey's they produce. We also picked up a bottle of Caorunn Scottish Raspberry Gin while we were there, the selection of gifts and branded items was lovely. Especially the unique pin badges. Thank you...
