What a great tour, Nigel was knowledgeable and great fun. We were extremely well looked after and recommend this hidden gem. The drams were great and the hand pump (bottle your own) extremely drinkable. Thank you

Myself and my wife visited the Distillery without previously booking but were still able to do the tour. The tour was relaxed, with a very good guide and was very informative. This was not the first Distillery that we have visited but was definitely the best so far. The tasting at the end was also very informative and the free gift was a lovely surprise.

Immy and I were the only ones on the tour and Donna did a great job for us. The tour was packed with detail and information about the special things that Balblair do to make their whisky different to everyone else. And it is - the tasting was informal and provided further insights into how to appreciate the whisky. Great tour - great distillery - probably the best in the area.

These folks could not be more kind. We had an excellent tour with lovely tastings capped off by filling and labelling our own labels. Among other things, we bought two lovely engraved tasting glasses to bring home with us to the U.S. They were my favorite keepsake we brought home from our trip. Just today I accidentally broke one of the glasses. My wife emailed to see if we could purchase and have shipped a replacement. They responded almost immediately saying not to worry about it and they would send us a new set for no charge. My wife was so surprised by this special kindness she actually teared up. Thank you Balblair! You are truly wonderful people running a great business. Hope to visit again!

Such an engaging and interesting tour at this wonderful working distillery. We loved all the different smells as you passed through the process. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming too. The young lady who led the tour was excellent - so knowledgeable. The whisky samples were also excellent! Can highly recommend both the tour and the whisky!

Angus was so knowledgeable about Balblair’s history and the whiskey making process. He captivated our group of 9 and eagerly led us room to room as he described the steps to make the whiskey. The tour ended with a tasting of 4 whiskeys with different ages. They were all so different and delicious. I’d highly recommend this tour.

AMAZING TOUR! We had messed up our timing and arrived an hour early, but the fantastic staff gave us an earlier tour. The guide was clearly loving both whisky and his job. Tour was just incredible, and even though we were visiting a working distillery, all staff we met were very friendly and willing to answer questions. We later compared all the distillery tours we'd been on during our holiday in Scotland, and all agreed this was by far the top experience. We will definitely be coming back next time we're in Scotland.

Just read a previous review in which the reviewer gave advice re photography. If you read the website on booking you know that (a) photography is not permitted in production areas and (b) there is work being done throughout the distillery. To give a poor review because you don’t read is just plain nasty. To compensate for the work being done we received an extra drink of a very special cask-strength whisky. The young lady who took us round the distillery was very personable and provided us with lots of interesting information. This is an amazing small distillery, the oldest in the Highland area and is well worth a visit. It starred in the movie “The Angels’ Share” and it is easy to see why it was used.

We arrived before opening time, but they started with a separate tour with just the two of us. Got a good insight into the production process and got to ask all the questions we had. The tour then went into the warehouses. It was very special to see the warehouse of barrels and the conditions in the warehouse. Tasting as usual, and we each got our own whiskey glass with logo. Can really be recommended.

My wife and I came to Scotland this past Spring to take our own Scotch tour and had the pleasure of tasting scotch at 12 distilleries all throughout the Highlands and Speyside. Fiona led us on this tour and we enjoyed that the operation was smaller and more intimate than others. To be honest, my wife and I were exhausted from so many tours at this point but the energy and humor of the staff helped us to get a second wind and the whiskey was just right for my palette (smooth, light, flavorful). It was a bit far from other distilleries but we were comfortable with the driving situation by then. We still need to watch the movie Angel’s Share, portions of which were filmed at Balblair! Very cool.
