Step into the story of English whisky with our immersive Forest Whisky Single Malt Experience, set within the atmospheric, 200-year-old, Cat & Fiddle.

Your journey begins in our cosy tour room, where you’ll be welcomed with a Forest Whisky Old Fashioned. Sink into sofas, wrap up in blankets, and take in sweeping views across the wild moorlands of the Peak District. 

From here, we delve into the world of whisky, and what makes our approach at Forest Distillery so distinctive. This is a hands-on, flavour-led experience designed for both curious newcomers and seasoned whisky drinkers. Guided by a Forest Weasel, you’ll explore the full life-cycle of our whisky, from grain to glass. Taste your way through a curated selection including our house blend (Masters Award Winner - World Whisky Masters, 2023) and our latest limited edition blend. You will also try our new make spirit (Baby Weasel) and our young single malt, gaining insight into the unique processes and ingredients we use. 

You’ll also step inside our working distillery to learn how our spirit is created using local barley, wild yeast, and pure Peak District water. Take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the UK's highest whisky still! The experience culminates in our historic maturation cellars, cool, dark and earthy, where our casks quietly shape each drop of Forest Whisky. Down here, you’ll sample our exceptional 5-year-old single malt, an extremely rare and limited release that captures the essence of our landscape and craftsmanship. Learn about the origin of the wood used for its casks and presentation boxes.

After the experience, guests are welcome to relax with a drink before closing time at 6:00pm or explore our shop, where you’ll receive 10% off any purchases on the day, (including our single malts!)

An unforgettable setting, a unique approach and a whisky experience unlike any other.
