Looking for a distillery (family visit)

Alex_B · July 2019

Hello everybody!
We want to visit Scotland in April 2020. We are a french family with 2 young boys, 12 et 15 years old. We want to visit an distillery who accept children. Can you advise me?
Thank you very much! Have a nice day ;-)

Hi @Alex_B! I know that not all distilleries allow children, however it might be worth checking with Tomatin as I have heard they are child friendly on certain tours. Good luck!

It may be worth checking out the VisitScotland Whisky map and narrowing down which whisky you like or the areas you would be visiting.

I believe Dalwhinnie is family friendly. With a claim to being the coldest distillery in Scotland, with an average temperature of 6°.

Glenturret Distillery near Crieff in Perthshire also allow children.

Hi @Alex_B

Lindores Abbey Distillery accept children onto their tours. They are in Fife and are one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland with references dating back to 1494. Check out more information here

@VisitScotlandLindsay - Lindores Distillery is a bonnie place to visit (the food is fabulous). It only re-opened in 2017 so I don't think there will be any whisky to taste (and therefore buy), just the Aquae Vitae, as previously made my monks on that site.

It is great that a new distillery has been built on the same site after over 500 years since closing.
