With the above distilleries being so new there will not be a drop of Whisky to drink which flowed from their shiny new stills, you'll need to wait a couple of years yet. But, while you wait Scotland boastfully has over 100 established single malt distilleries dotted all over the country, many with welcoming visitor centres who would be more than happy to show you around and offer you a dram for your troubles.  Visit Scotland has a handy interactive Whisky Distillery map, which comes in useful when looking to see what distilleries are located in and around a specific location.

Some of these visitors centres also stock many of our products that you can find on our online shop, including Whisky Water Droppers, Hip Flask Glass Funnel and our very popular Whisky Flight Staves.

If you are shopping at our online store we are offering a 10% discount on everything until Father's Day (16th June). Simply enter the discount code at the checkout - "FATHERSDAY10".
