Angus Alchemy is a craft distillery and tasting experience based in Carnoustie, Scotland. The business offers five curated experiences that showcase local spirits and Scottish whiskies, combining guided tastings with behind-the-scenes access to the distillery.
Experiences include The Angus Local, a tasting featuring four local spirits beginning with Angus Alchemy’s signature moonshine; The Albannach, a whisky flight sampling malts from Scotland’s five whisky regions; The Alchemist, a distillery tour and tasting led by the “Masters of Mayhem”; and Alchemy After Hours packages for birthday, stag and hen parties with three-hour guided tastings and optional event enhancements.
Each experience includes four focused tastings and the option to pair samples with savoury pies from The Wee Cook Kitchen. Sessions that emphasize craft production explain how bespoke spirits are distilled using local ingredients and techniques, and some tours provide behind-the-scenes access to production areas. Group packages accommodate private celebrations and events, and hosts can request custom arrangements for tastings or food pairings.
Angus Alchemy presents its tours and tastings in a relaxed, social atmosphere designed for visitors, groups, and whisky enthusiasts. The combination of place—Carnoustie, Scotland—local ingredients, whisky region exploration, and optional food pairings makes the offering distinct. Visitors can book themed experiences focused on local flavour, regional whiskies, or private after-hours celebrations led by experienced local guides.
Bookings accommodate both public walk-in tastings and pre-booked private sessions for groups, corporate functions, and milestone celebrations, with flexible scheduling and optional food pairings to suit event needs and group preferences of varying sizes comfortably.
