Whisky Tourism
From the source of the water to the shape of the still, a
distillery tour will help to explain what makes every Scotch Whisky
different. No two distilleries are the same. Each has a unique
setting and story, as well as a distinctive way of doing
things
that has evolved over many years. Visiting a distillery allows you
to indulge your passion for Scotch and, at the same time, discover
the environment and meet the people that have done so much to shape
that instantly recognisable taste.
Many distilleries welcome visits by members of the public. It is
often necessary to make arrangements in advance, but many
distilleries have extensive visitor facilities and do not require
prior warning of a visit.
No matter which distillery you choose to
visit - be it island, mainland, large or small - you can expect
great Scotch Whisky, a warm Scottish welcome, and a fabulous day
out.
The SWA's Distilleries to Visit 2012
provides information on some 40 distilleries and visitor centres
open to the public, including opening times and the availability of
disabled facilities.
