The Glasgow Distillery Co
Glasgow's first single malt distillery in over a century, producing the 1770 range (named after the city's last distillery, which closed in the 18th century). The 1770 Original is a light, citrus-forward Lowland malt; the Peated Edition adds unexpected smoke; the Sherry Cask brings richness. The distillery also produces Makar Gin and Glaswegin. Located in an industrial area near the Clyde, the visitor experience is urban and modern — the opposite of a picturesque Highland setting, and better for it.

Auchentoshan
Scotland’s only triple-distilled single malt, producing notably light and delicate spirit. A 10-minute drive from Glasgow and easily the most accessible distillery visit for city-break tourists.
Bladnoch
Scotland's most southerly distillery, founded in 1817 and revived by Australian entrepreneur David Prior in 2015. Produces classically light, grassy Lowland single malts in a quiet corner of Dumfries & Galloway that most visitors never reach.
Glenkinchie
Known as “The Edinburgh Malt”, Glenkinchie sits in rolling farmland 25 minutes south of the capital and is the most-visited Lowland distillery. The 12 Year Old is the reference point for delicate, grassy Lowland style — a useful gateway for beginners.
