An Aberdeenshire distillery has expanded its visitor centre.
The Huntly-based GlenDronach distillery has created a new tasting room, whisky bar, lounge area and retail space.
The design draws inspiration from the distillery’s historic buildings, some of
which date back as far as 1771.
The visitor centre also displays a rich collection of both rare and historic
GlenDronach whiskies, including the distillery’s oldest bottle which was bottled
in 1913 just before the outbreak of World War I.
This is the first refurbishment of the visitor’s centre since Brown-Forman purchased
The GlenDronach distillery in 2016.
The project has has created six new jobs.
Jennifer Proctor, the distillery’s home place manager, said: “(Founder) James Allardice was both a visionary entrepreneur and a warm and welcoming host, often inviting friends and neighbours into his home to share a dram of his ‘guid GlenDronach’.
“Our vision was to carry forth his hospitality and to bring the traditional craftsmanship of The GlenDronach to life, creating the perfect experience for our visitors to immerse themselves in the distillery’s rich heritage and our Highland Single Malts.”
The visitor centre is open from 10am-4.30pm, seven days a week.
