Jackton Distillery
One of Scotland's newest distilleries, based in East Kilbride on the south side of Glasgow. Jackton represents the ongoing Lowland distilling revival — a small-scale operation producing new-make spirit that won't reach whisky age for several years. Currently producing gin while the whisky matures. The location makes it one of the most accessible distilleries from Glasgow city centre, reachable by train and a short taxi.

Other lowland distilleries
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.
