Formally owned by Johnnie Walker, Annandale is one of Scotland’s oldest working distilleries and only Single Cask Single Malt Whisky Distillery. They offer tours giving a glimpse into the heritage and craftsmanship behind their whiskies. We would also highly recommend a visit to the Maltings Coffee Shop in the former malting floors. A 2-hour drive from us.

For hundreds of years small Arran communities made their own spirit in illicit home-made stills. The resulting whisky, which became known as ‘Arran Waters’, was smuggled from Lagg and sold on mainland Scotland. Now reviving Lagg’s heritage, legally of course, the Distillery honours the historic craft of whisky-making while embracing a modern approach to peated single malts.

This “Queen of the Lowlands”, Bladnoch is the oldest privately owned Scotch Whisky Distillery in the world. With over 200 years of rich history, it is known for its signature Lowland style of single malt whisky, which is typically light, delicate, and grassy with floral hints. Bladnoch offers tours and tastings but booking is recommended. Just a 90 minute drive from us.
