Lone Wolf (BrewDog Distillery)
BrewDog's spirits arm, based at their Ellon campus in Aberdeenshire. Lone Wolf produces whisky, vodka, gin, and rum from a facility that benefits from BrewDog's brewing infrastructure and distribution muscle. The whisky is still relatively young and the first single malt releases have been mixed — some interesting barrel experiments alongside less convincing standard releases. The Ellon campus tour combines the brewery and distillery in one visit. Whether BrewDog's beer reputation helps or hinders their whisky credibility is an open question.

Other highland distilleries
Oban
A tiny two-still distillery sitting right in the middle of the town it’s named after. Oban bridges Highland and West Coast island character — gently smoky, salty, fruity.
The Dalmore
The Highland distillery that appears on more end-of-year gift lists than any other. Dalmore is famous for heavy sherry-cask maturation and extremely serious prices at the top of its range.
Glenmorangie
Home to the tallest stills in Scotland — nearly five metres — which produces a notably light, fragrant spirit. Glenmorangie is one of the best-selling single malts in Scotland full stop.
