Great News - we now have new premises for the Whisky Museum!

The Whisky Museum has been closed now for over a year, due to our lease running out and it being too expensive to meet a much higher rent. However, we have now aquired the Hub, who have ceased to be, and Big Lottery have signed it over to Dufftown 2000 Ltd., to run as a Whisky & Heritage Museum.

 

The Dufftown Whisky Museum provides a unique opportunity to discover the secrets of whisky making in days gone. It also gives a fascinating insight into the lives and times of whisky smugglers.

Many of the exhibits were provided by local distillers as well as HM Custom and Excise. These include illicit stills as well as other tools and equipment used for whisky manufacture in times gone

                                       MATES OF THE WHISKY MUSEUM    

                

 

The Whisky Museum needs your support.

Having been opened in 2002 by Charles Maclean who was editor of Whisky Magazine,we had to move out of our premises in March 2009.

Dufftown 2000 have been fortunate in obtaining a new permanent  home for the Museum but it's small.  We hope to purchase the adjoining property in order to create a larger museum and a heritage centre, with displays of local memorabilia.  For this we need funds - and so we have formed Mates of the Whisky Museum to help with this task.

Who can become a Mate? Anyone who enjoys whisky and wants to keep Dufftown Whisky Museum alive.

How much does it cost? GBP10 per year

(or a life membership for GBP100)

To join please contact René Ramon, who is Keeper of the Whisky Museum. Email address: mates@dufftown.co.uk

During the festivals we try to put on a special event for the Mates. They are also invited to one of the Nosing & Tasting Evenings (free of charge) that we put on during the summer months.
