Glenfiddich Distillery Visitor Centre


Glenfiddich kept single malt alive during the dark years. The distillery is big and busy, but the handiest for Dufftown, and foreign languages are available. The 90-minute standard tour (£10) starts with an overblown video, but it's fun and informative. An in-depth half-day Pioneer's Tour (£95) must be prebooked.
