Guests will discover the criteria and rigorous testing involved in maintaining the quality and integrity of Bladnoch’s Single Cask offerings. The team at Bladnoch will share insights into the decision-making process, explaining how factors such as flavour profile, aroma, and maturation time influence the selection of each cask.

- Guests will also receive a gift of a Glencairn tasting glass to take home with them.
Step Into Bladnoch: What to Know Before You Tour
The distillery will not be in production for certain periods throughout the year (reasons could include low water in the river). Bladnoch will advise at the earliest possible opportunity of any closures. During this time all tours operate as normal, and you will be able to see every part of the distillery. Tours during this time are marked ‘Silent Season’.
Please note, the distillery tours are not suitable for wheelchair users, those using walking sticks or walking aids, due to the nature of some of the buildings. Please wear comfortable and appropriate footwear – high heels are not permitted on tours due to health and safety regulations.
The majority of the walkways are open-grid floors which may not be suitable for anyone with a fear of heights.
