The Whisky Walk is a unique Aberdeenshire experience. Like a perfectly blended whisky it’s the perfect marriage of history, entertainment and education.
Visit a two hundred year old Scottish whisky distillery and then sample Aberdeenshire’s finest malt whiskies in a kaleidoscope of settings.
THE BARS
The Whisky Walk is easy to find and is perfectly located. It’s situated in the historical independent Merchant Quarter area of the city centre, next to the main shopping centres and key cultural attractions.
There are twelve bars on the tour all within two minutes walk of each other. You can enjoy your whisky in the comfort of luxury or in a traditional local bar.
Historical and fashionable, quirky and arty, eye popping and jaw dropping – they are all in the mix. Something for all tastes and something for all pockets.
GLEN GARIOCH DISTILLERY
Scotland is at its best in the Highlands. Rugged land, rich and lush, bold and dramatic, and above all breathtakingly beautiful. The Glen Garioch Distillery in Oldmeldrum is one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries founded by Aberdeenshire brothers John & Alexander Manson in 1797.
The magic of the Highland region is that the whiskies traditionally conform less to a typical flavour profile, in the way that Islay malts are peaty and Lowlands light. The Highlands are the home of the more eclectic distillers, producing unique and varied whisky in a variety of interesting styles.
Glen Garioch is an ideal example of what a Highland malt can offer: distinct, intense, authentic and full of character. Our home is in our name. The Garioch, pronounced “geery” means ‘granary’ in Doric and refers to the stretch of fertile farm land that runs through the Grampian region, just west of Aberdeen.
Glen Garioch is proud to sponsor the Merchant Quarter Whisky Walk.
