Through the years, a warm welcome has always awaited our peaty pilgrims, notably in the form of a warming dram, as well as a friendly greeting from Jackie and the team at the Visitor Centre. Whether you’re an Ardbeginner or a seasoned connoisseur, come and learn more about our wonderful whisky and explore our beautiful Distillery on one of our fascinating tours or tastings. Enjoy a delicious bite to eat and have a look around the shop – you can redeem your tour voucher for £5 against any bottle in our Core Range or against merchandise over £40.

Somethings to note :
Our Visitor Centre is fully accessible for those with limited mobility, but due to the nature of the old Distillery buildings, some tours and tastings may be a little trickier to get
around. Please contact us if you want to check any details for your visit. Well behaved dogs are welcome in the shop, but we ask you always keep them on a short lead.
Unfortunately, we can’t allow dogs in the tasting areas or the Old Kiln Café.
