Aberdeen Angus &
Absinthe Tour

What do Aberdeen Angus and Absinthe have in common?  Well, nothing really, just the fact that the most passionate and entertaining Aberdeen Angus farmer in Scotland just happens to be based beside Scotland’s first distillery to produce Absinthe!

This means during this Aberdeenshire Farm tour you can learn about one of our most traditional cattle breeds. Then on the distillery tour you will discover the story behind our newest spirit.

An hour’s drive from Aberdeen city centre takes us out to a farm with views over southern Deeside like no other.  Here we will meet Farmer Ken and hear all about his prize-winning herd of Aberdeen Angus cattle and the history of this magnificent breed.

From here we look down the howe which once upon a time was a loch until drained for farmland. This loch also leads us to the story of the absinthe and gives us a sighting of the unlikely building that houses the new distillery, which has already won some top awards.

After our farm tour and a short scenic journey, we will be treated to a hearty lunch at a local Inn. We will then head into the distillery for a tour and tasting of their range of award-winning products.

This will be a great day out where we will meet some very passionate producers and exchange stories in a fun environment, whilst learning about and sampling some of Scotland’s most traditional and newest produce.

This is around an 8-hour tour, based on collection and drop off in Aberdeen.

This tour is available as a private tour for up to eight people for £450 + £40 per person, this does not include lunch at the Inn.
