In Pictures: Whisky distillery takes top tier team from Falkirk Council on tasting tour

George Stewart and his family started operations at Falkirk Whisky Distillery, in Grandsable Road, Polmont, back in 2020 and it is now known throughout the country and world for producing unpeated Lowland single malt Scotch whisky.

People are now able to get a fascinating glimpse at the workings in the distillery through tours which began earlier this year.

Falkirk Council leader Cecil Meiklejohn, along with council chief executive Kenneth Lawrie and economic development manager Keir Stevenson were able to see the sights and taste the product at a recent tour led by company directors George Stewart and Fiona Stewart.

“We’ve been open for tours for a few months now.” said Fiona. “It’s been very successful so far and now we’re looking to continue to take advantage of the tourism in the area, having already had so many different visitors, both local and international.

"We are open to coach tours and have the capacity to take 54 visitors in one tour.”

Fiona said the distillery is about to release another new whisky and there are also plans to open a cafe bistro to make it an even more attractive option for visitors to come to for a day out.

"It’s taken us a while to get where we are, but we are doing really well,” said Fiona, who added thanks had to go to Business Gateway Falkirk and Falkirk Council for their help and support through the years.
