Details of the tour you can take around the Aberlour malt whisky distillery with tasting in Aberdeenshire Scotland
A rare treat awaits visitors to the Aberlour Distillery - the admission price includes sampling five different malts! More of that wee treat later! You also get a free postcard and a booklet about their story. After purchasing your ticket (you need to book in advance) you can purchase Aberlour whisky, glasses, dram measurers, brollies, jackets and much more - a great opportunity to buy some gifts that may not be readily purchased in shops.
Join a coach trip from Aberdeen to Aberlour and other distilleries
The tour begins with a fascinating general history of whisky and the trade in Scotland, progressing to how they originated through to modern day production by the tour guide, then continued through an audio-visual presentation within the distillery.

My new novel:
The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

This distillery tour has the unique advantage of being restricted to 15 people twice a day - so you get a real personal account of the distillery and the history of whisky in an informal walk about. Our guide had a super sense of humour with some hilarious anecdotes, which entertained us as we walked through the entire whisky production.
Finally you will be lead to the site warehouse where you won't have to wait 10 years for the barrel contents to mature - sitting seductively on barrel tables are 5 malts for each visitor to nose and taste under the experienced tuition of the tour guide. It includes the full bodied and fruity Aberlour a'bunadh, a particular favourite of mine. After the refreshments, you can have the chance to bottle and label your own whisky - an ideal unique gift for the whisky lover.
Aber means the mouth in Gaelic whilst the Lour is the chattering burn - from where the water needed for the whisky production is taken - hence Aberlour.
The distillery was founded in 1879 by James Fleming on the site of St Drostan's Well, which provides the spring water from the Lour Burn.
The motto of James Fleming, which appears on each bottle, is Let the Deed Show. Fleming was a charitable man and the village benefited from his generosity. For example, he funded the local community hall, a bridge across the River Spey and from his will, the local hospital.
Have you seen my beautiful golden retriever Lynne out and about in Aberdeen? Ask her for a high-five! She's a Bravehound PTSD assistance dog, so we'll often be in shops, restaurants, and the cinema together.
We've written a book where I talk about growing up in Aberdeen and then joining the army to be a medic and nurse, and developing military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I also talk about losing my son to suicide and the therapy I have had at Royal Cornhill Hospital and grief support groups in Aberdeen.
The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:
"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."

An army veteran moves his family back to his Aberdeenshire home, but his nightmare neighbour starts a battle of wits with him. Who will win this One Last War?
