About this tour
Spend an hour as a whisky blender at this Scottish distillery, guided through the craft of combining spirits. You'll sample five different single malts, then construct your own 100ml bottle to take home. The session splits between understanding flavour profiles and hands-on blending, followed by self-guided access to the heritage museum, which charts the founders' story from the 1880s onwards.

What to expect
The experience opens with a 30-minute sensory lesson where a guide walks you through the language of whisky tasting—how to identify fruits, spices, and wood notes in each dram. You'll then spend 30 minutes crafting your own recipe by nosing the five whiskies and deciding your proportions. After bottling your blend, you're free to wander the self-guided museum, which tells the story of John Dewar and his sons through exhibits and artefacts. Expect some walking on uneven surfaces and stairs throughout.
