Comment | As I say, they're all good - just bear in mind that the ones right on the A9 (Dalwhinnie/Tomatin) are going to be the epicentre of mass tourist groups, so getting even a little off the track will mean a slightly better experience
Series 5 episode 1 of Still Game is essential viewing before any distillery trip, by the way (and was filmed at the Glengoyne distillery just north of Glasgow) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m13ZZ-xZUbI
Scotland is great for gin, as huge amounts of botanicals grow wild here, and pretty much every village in the land has sprouted its own variant. Two of my favourites are [Stirling Gin](https://stirlingdistillery.com/gin/) (good balanced citrus/botanicals) and [Hills and Harbour](https://craftydistillery.com/products/hills-harbour-gin-70cl) (slightly more interesting one from the South West coast with lots of wild seashore plants like buckthorn that tastes amazing)
If you have the time, there's a shop in the city centre (with a smaller branch in the west end) called the [Good Spirits Co](https://www.thegoodspiritsco.com/) that are very friendly and knowledgeable and will see you very right on all things spirits - just go with a budget in mind |
