Information on Distillery Tour

This is technically a Lowland Distillery but distills whisky spirit twice, not three times as is normal for the Lowlands. First fill of whisky cask was on February 12th 2020 which means that batch technically qualifies as Scotch having been matured for the requisite minimum of three years. Overall, an excellent tour with a first class guide. Location is sixteen miles south of Glasgow City. The distillery can only be accessed by road with the final one/two miles being narrow, single track. The tour lasted about ninety minutes.
