The Best Distilleries in Scotland

The Glenlivet

The Glenlivet distillery produces many bottles that are sold in North America, so there’s a much higher chance you’ve sampled some of their wares before. If you haven’t, you’ll probably want to sign up for one of their longer tours. On their Legacy Tasting Tour, you can sample a rare dram drawn straight from the cask, as well as some of their traditional offerings.

The Glenlivet distillery is located in the middle of Scotland, just southeast of Inverness — which is considered the gateway to the Highlands. You’ll need a car to get there, but the drive either south from Inverness or north from Glasgow or Edinburgh is stunning.
