Inchgower
Sits by the Moray Firth in the fishing town of Buckie — one of the few coastal Speyside distilleries, which shows up as a distinctive salty edge in the spirit. Core output goes into Bell's blends; occasional Special Releases put single-malt Inchgower on whisky enthusiasts' radars.

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.
