Speyside Distillery

Has anyone on here visited the Speyside Distillery and if so was it a worthwhile trip? And are you able to purchase any of their whiskies or Scotts Selection bottlings?

NB I know that tours are only arranged by appointment

Many thanks

I went there without appointment and had a hard time to find the place, it's rather hidden. When I found the entrance to the estate it was quite uninviting (signs saying no visitors etc.) and I think there were some barriers too. Therefore I didn't go near the distillery, didn't even see it from far. However, the place is lovely...

If you're lucky they will give you a free taste. If you are unlucky they will give you two free tastes.
