Achentoshan Distillery
"Every last drop of every whiskey we make is tripple distilled"
It takes longer. It costs more. But we know it’s worth it. Auchentoshan is Distilled Different, and it shows in our whisky collection.
City-inspired since 1823, Auchentoshan has a relationship with Glasgow that spans generations. The city is where traditional craft meets progressive thinking. That’s been the basis for our approach to producing Lowland whisky of distinction. An innovative approach to Single Malt with a real sense of place and purpose.
This all makes every edition of Auchentoshan flavoursome, smooth and drinkable - a whisky as aggressively welcoming as Glasgow itself.

The Ashentoshan Experience
The Distilled Different Tour but with the chance to try four of our triple distilled Single Malt expressions, to appreciate why we made each one and how what we do changes the taste you experience.
The Ultimate Experience
Normally, only our Master Blender and Distillery Manager sample straight from the cask. However, it's just one of the very special moments on this incredibly detailed Auchentoshan tour.
The Ashentoshan Masterclass
Join us for a daily Masterclass that will take you through the making of Auchentoshan, our unique Triple Distillation process and how this unique production crafts the spirit of this Lowland Single Malt.
INCLUDES A DRAM AND A SERVE OF AUCHENTOSHAN & ALE
The perfect introduction to our triple distilled Single Malt Whisky takes you through the making of the good stuff from start to finish.
Achentoshan Distillery
Glengoyne Distillery
People often say that we’re Scotland’s most beautiful distillery. We’re surprisingly easy to get to as well – just under 40 minutes from Glasgow. You'll learn a lot about whisky here, and you'll have a lot of fun while you're at it. Visit us to see for yourself.
We do things differently at Glengoyne. We take you closer to the journey, further into the detail, and deeper into the complexity of our spirit. You’ll learn a lot about whisky here, and you’ll have a lot of fun while you’re at it.
We’re just under 40 minutes from Glasgow too – although you wouldn’t guess it from the views of the hills and the hidden glen.

WEE TASTING TOUR
Like all our tours, we’ll welcome you with a dram of the Glengoyne 12 Year Old – but at the end there’s also a Glengoyne 18 Year Old waiting for you. We’ll guide you through the tasting of each whisky, giving you an introduction to the flavours and aromas.
GOLD MEDAL PARADE
Like all our tours, we’ll welcome you with a dram of Glengoyne 12 Year Old – but you’ll finish with three of our other gold-medal winners, swirling and nosing your way through the differences in taste and colour.

MALT MASTER TOUR
We’ll welcome you with the Glengoyne 12 Year Old and an incredibly in-depth tour of the distillery – a chance for our guides to really share their knowledge. Then it gets extra special – you create your own single malt in the Sample Room.

NO.1 WAREHOUSE TOUR
Like all our tours, we’ll welcome you with a taste of the Glengoyne 12 Year Old and an incredibly in-depth tour of the distillery. But where others look through the locked iron gates of Warehouse No.1, we take you behind them, armed with a dipping dug – a traditional whisky sampler.
