Distilleries Worth the Tour

A distillery tour is one of the best ways to spend an afternoon in Scotland, especially a wet one. The smell of the mash, the copper stills, the warehouse full of sleeping casks, and at the end of it a dram in your hand and a much better idea of what's in it. The good tours are as much about the people and the place as the whisky.

We've rounded up our favourite distilleries that welcome visitors, from island legends with a queue of fans to newcomers in the cities.
