GlenAllachie Announces Upgrades to Visitor Center
The GlenAllachie Distillery has unveiled major upgrades to its visitor center.
The £600,000 investment sees a former engineering workshop be transformed to house a whisky bar, tasting lounge, extra toilets (including disabled facilities), and substantial outdoor seating space with uninterrupted views of Ben Rinnes. The new whisky bar, between the indoor and outdoor space, allows for a capacity of 100 people at any one time.
The whisky bar will offer a range of The GlenAllachie Distillers Company’s whiskies and rums, offered in single measures or as a flight, as well as mixers and locally made soft drink options.
As part of the distillery’s sustainability efforts, the new space will be heated using excess heat energy from the stillhouse, the room where distilling takes place. Electric vehicle charging points have also been installed for visitor use.
To showcase the new space, The GlenAllachie Distillery is hosting a public launch event for the whisky bar and tasting lounge on Thursday, July 13th, 2023 from 5:30 pm–7:30 pm.
