Distiller For A Day
From: £250.00
Step behind-the-scenes
Become a distiller for a day; step beyond the visitor route and into the heart of the distillery with this exclusive, hands-on experience.
Spend a full day working alongside our expert distilling team as you are guided through the complete whisky-making journey from raw grain to cask.
This immersive experience offers rare, practical involvement in every key stage of production, including milling and mashing, distillation, warehousing, and sampling straight from cask. Guests are encouraged to get fully involved, ask questions, and truly feel part of the distilling process from beginning to end.
The day culminates with the opportunity to fill your own cask on the production floor. Your ticket price is redeemable against a private 1837 cask, allowing you to lay down a personal piece of the distillery’s future.
To mark the occasion, guests will be kitted out in official distillery uniform, enjoy lunch with the team, and receive a framed Distiller’s Certificate along with a curated goodie bag to take home.
This is an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes distilling experience crafted for those who want to go deeper.
18.37% discount for 1837 members.

WHAT IS 1837?
1837 is our private cask ownership scheme, created to celebrate the return of distilling to the Scottish Borders for the first time since 1837.
Through the programme, we offer a limited number of individually numbered casks filled with our new make spirit, allowing owners to follow their whisky’s journey from cask to bottle. Participants can choose their cask type and fill date, enjoy secure bonded storage and insurance for the first ten years, and track maturation through annual updates via our dedicated app.
The programme also includes distillery tour vouchers, exclusive benefits, and support from our team when the time comes to bottle, making 1837 a deeply personal way to be part of our distillery’s story.
