Really good tour, shop and restaurant. We had the taste of scotland tour and it was well worth it. After a good tour and very good film we had a taste of Macallan, Glenrothes, and Highland Park 25yo. Staff really nice and knowledgeable. spent a lovely afternoon. Well worth a visit,

This is the oldest distillery in Scotland and well worth a visit if in the Crieff area. The tours are well done with very well informed staff to guide you through the complexities of the whisky making process. The shop is well stocked with plenty of choice from a good range of whiskies, glass ware and clothing. They once had a distillery cat called Towser who has been entered in the Guiness Book of Records as having caught in the region of 30.000 mice. Towser is immortalised in a statue on a plinth at the distillery.
Dear Peter,

Tour guide was very good and knowledgable and was able to answer the questions asked, the information about the distillery was ok, although my view may be tainted as I have been to a lot of distilleries since i was a child as my father is a big whiskey fan, he seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. The shop is lovely and full of all the whiskeys mentioned in the tour plus glasses, pens, keyrings etc. the restaurant/bar is lovely too but stops selling meals at 3pm even though the last tour is at half 4, selection of cakes and drinks are tastey though as are the coronation chicken wraps and potato salad which I had for lunch, overall a grand day out :)
Hi Meggilymooch!
Thank you very much for taking the time to review us! We're so glad to hear that you had a "grand day out"! We will take on board your comment regarding the time that the hot food is served in the Cafe till. At the moment we have it out for a short time to make sure that it is a fresh as possible daily, however I understand how this may be frustrating in the afternoon.
I do hope that we can welcome you back again soon! :)
Kind regards,

Very interesting tour and tasty samples. Went with friends as treat from them - all enjoyed but friends were disappointed that the interactive part of the tour wasn't working. Spent lots at the shop and our guide was excellent.
Dear Doyster,
Thank you for your "Whisky Galore" review :) I'm so sorry that the show was not working when you visited us; this was unfortunately due to an unforeseen power cut. We are very pleased to hear that your guide was excellent and that you enjoyed your tour.
We do hope to see you here again!
Kind regards,

Four of us did the Famous Grouse Distillery tour on Friday 19th July 2013, it was quite enjoyable, quite informative and quite tasty (even if the samples are a bit small!) Our tour was conducted by Emma who was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her work and the product. A good time was had by all!!!!
Hi ukdavef!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review of The Famous Grouse Experience. I'm thrilled that you all had a good time. We are closely regulated by Drink Aware guidelines which is why we have strict measures of whisky on tour, apologies for this, we will take this on board however.
We hope to see you back again soon :)
Best wishes,
