Glen Garioch Distillery

Reviewed By AEMSpain - Vejer de la Frontera, Spain

My father and I enjoyed the most fantastic visit with Glen Garioch on their new Founders Tour. It covered history, fine whisky, beautiful views and gourmet food. We were taken to several unique viewpoints, in the Glen Garioch mini bus, to learn about the landscape and special aspects of Oldmeldrum and the founders of GG which contribute to making Glen Garioch so unique. At each stop we enjoyed a nip of something special along side a tasty gourmet delight of the area. The tour included a delicious tasting lunch at Meldrum House Hotel of dishes prepared using Glen Garioch and accompanied by the same. This tour is a true example of how you learn about the history and culture of an area through it's food and drink. I will happily repeat this tour one day. Highly recommended.
