Dufftown
Founded in 1896 in what Banffshire locals call 'the Malt whisky capital of the world' — Dufftown has more working distilleries per square mile than anywhere else in Scotland. The distillery itself is a workhorse for the Singleton brand; not open to general visitors but hugely important for blends.

Glenfiddich
The world’s best-selling single malt, Glenfiddich is where most people’s Scotch journey begins. Founded by William Grant and still family-owned, it remains one of the few distilleries to bottle its own spirit on-site.
The Macallan
The most valuable single malt brand in the world. Famous for sherry-cask maturation and, increasingly, for price inflation. The architecturally-stunning visitor centre is worth a visit on its own merits.
The Glenlivet
The first legal distillery in the parish under the 1823 Excise Act, and one of the largest single malt brands in the world. Glenlivet sits at the centre of Speyside both geographically and historically.
