Situated right next to Balmoral Castle it is the perfect place to visit. We offer a guided tour of the distillery for £5 per person, which includes a discount voucher redeemable against any 70cl bottle of whisky. Once you have visited the distillery to see how we make our whisky, you will be given a dram of the fine Royal Lochnagar Single Malt to round it off nicely!
