| DISTILLERY
TOURS
Most distilleries welcome visitors, and a tour of a working
distillery is a fascinating experience. Not only will you
learn a great deal about the art and science of whisky making,
but you’ll also find yourself absorbed by the sights,
sounds and smells that surround you. And of course the best
part of all – the tasting of a “wee dram”!!!
Links to the websites of distilleries in our area are detailed
below. All of these are open to the public and welcome visitors
with the exception of Deanston and Loch Lomond Distillers.
Some other useful weblinks are also included.
