A warm welcome awaits 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.

Some things to note:

Accessibility - 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.

Pets - 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 on tours, in the tasting areas or the Old Kiln Café.
