Aberfeldy Distillery unveils plans for ‘cosy’ visitor centre

A Highland Perthshire distillery which attracts 32,000 visitors each year has unveiled plans for a redevelopment of its visitor centre.

The plans for Dewar’s World of Whisky at the Aberfeldy Distillery include the refurbishment of the caf and shop.

Work will commence on site on Saturday and is scheduled for completion in April. The designs have a traditional feel, which was felt to be in keeping with Dewar’s rich heritage and sympathetic to the architectural features of the historical building, which is home to Dewar’s World of Whisky.

Charlotte Brown, centre manager, said: “Along with creating a cosy environment for our visitors to relax and enjoy their dram, we will also see a new menu in the caf, offering freshly-prepared hot and cold lunches with a focus on local produce.

“This is a genuinely exciting development and demonstrates our dedication to providing five star facilities for visitors to the Aberfeldy Distillery.”

The plan also features Dewar’s vintage memorabilia going on display to the public for the first time.
