Royal Lochnagar
Sits within sight of Balmoral Castle on Royal Deeside and was granted its Royal Warrant in 1848 after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert visited from the estate next door. One of Diageo's smallest distilleries — tiny output, tiny visitor centre — but easy to combine with a Balmoral day out.

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.
