Dallas Dhu Distillery
"Last entry 5pm. Discovery the whisky-making process in this Victorian distillery, which has seen only limited development since it opened in 1898. Dallas Dhu suffered frequent setbacks before finally closing in 1983, but its mixed fortunes have helped preserve its distinctive features. Take an audio-guided tour, wander at your leisure through this fascinating building."

A bit of a time capsule and not in a good way. Visiting the distillery was a pretty eery and odd experience. The audio tour equipment is very old and hard to hear, and it's completely self guided. The distillery hasn't been active for a long time and while you can get up close to everything, there's not all that much information besides the method for making whisky. You finish the tour with a video which hasn't been updated since the early 90s at best with a comically green screened Roderick Dhu, and a taste of the similarly named whisky. It's a really average blended whisky - not disgusting but not the kind of whisky you want to taste if you're new to whisky or looking for anything special. Literally the only information we were given about the whisky sample was that you'd feel pretty drunk if you had enough of it. The staff were nice and if there was a better tour it could be good, but there are so many better tours out there. Try and find an active distillery with a tour run by a real person and you'll almost certainly have a much better time of it.
I arrived via the beautiful Dava Way from Forres. The distillery was closed but I visited the grounds. Beautifully kept grounds with picnic tables and adequate parking. I will visit again soon when I will be able to enter the visitor center.
Nice historical place, they stop product on 1986 but naw is nice museum
You can't take kids onto most distillery tours meaning you can't do a tour as a family, but because this is a historic distillery and no longer produces whisky, the kids can come too. As adults we've done a number of distillery tours, but even here we learned something as you can get so close to everything and see things you're ordinarily not allowed to. Both children aged 14 and 11 were fascinated and listened to the entire tour guide pre-recorded and listened to through a wand thing and didn't once complain they were bored. This is a pretty former distillery in a nice setting, and the Roderick Dhu blended dram provided at the end is quite nice too. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
As it is not a working distillery anymore you can really get in amongst the equipment and follow the process. It is self-guided with an audio guide but the staff in the reception/shop answered my questions. Perhaps if you know whisky this wouldn't be informative enough for you and you don't get the smells and heat of a working distillery but then again I'm a working distillery you can't walk into the malt dryer, stick your head in a still or peer into a mash tunn.
Great wee tour, detailing the history of whisky and a the process of distilling it. Being closed for production since the 1980's allows closer access to all the stages of the whisky making process - much more so than most other distillery tours.
An excellent distillery tour, it might not produce whisky any more, but historically a very important distillery. Unlike some tours it's child friendly.
The only historic distillery in Scotland, possibly the world, should be on the bucket list of every whisky lover. The tour is very informative and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly.
A cool little historic distillery. The staff was very friendly. You can find a blended whisky made specifically for this place here. If you're near by, it is worth a stop in.
You can get close to everything. Perfect for anyone with a process engineering fetish. Also a tiny bit of whisky at end of tour. Included in the highland explorer ticket package thing.
