Immerse yourself in the craft of traditional malting at Dunphail Distillery

Explore the distillery's iconic malthouse and see the floor malting facility

Discover the whisky-making process from milling to mashing and fermentation

Enjoy the sight and aromas of whisky maturing in specially-selected oak casks

Visit Dunphail Distillery, a former farm steading in the beautiful countryside of the Speyside region. Discover how the refurbishment and expansion of the site have been conducted using local, heritage materials such as Scottish Douglas Fir and original stonework.

Learn how the distillery incorporated technologies that respect the natural environment, including the generation of all of its electricity needs through solar power as well as significantly reducing the need for water.

See the iconic malthouse, with its floor malting facility and kiln, which was carefully designed and built to preserve the craft of traditional malting – a sight rarely seen at other distilleries these days. Discover how the steeping, spreading, and kilning of the barley are all conducted within the stone building, entirely by hand.

Visit the main distillery building, which contains the heart of the whisky-making process, from milling to mashing through to fermentation in open-topped wooden washbacks before commencing distillation in copper pot stills.

See a range of specially-selected oak casks for maturing the whisky, held within the on-site warehouse, offering visitors the chance to enjoy the sight and aromas as the angels take their share.

Relax in the distillery’s visitor center and enjoy some fine whiskies as well as purchase gifts, while at the same time learning how the techniques of the past are being used at Dunphail to shape the whisky of the future.
