Malt Whisky Trail
The Grampian Highlands area is famous for its delicious malt
whisky, and the best way to explore this long-standing tradition is
by following a whisky route (self-drive or guided) to eight
different distilleries, including the Glenfiddich Distillery that
was started in 1887. Visitors can learn about the age-old process
of coaxing different smells, tastes and colours from a mixture of
yeast, barley, peat and water, and take tours of different
distilleries. Some distilleries can only be visited with advanced
bookings, and usually offer tastings.
