Tagged with: Discover VISIT A DISTILLERY Distilleries To Visit 2018 The Big Map of Scotch Whisky Distillery tourism in Scotland: Covid-19 We’re working with our distilleries and their communities to welcome visitors safely once more to our distillery homes. This page will be kept updated with details of Scotch Whisky distilleries which have publicly said they will be open for tours as restrictions ease. More information can be found directly with the distillery, and guidance on exploring Scotland can be found via Visit Scotland. Bars and restaurants across Scotland are also reopening giving more opportunities to #DiscoverScotch and get a taste for the places that make it so special. Explore our resources below. We encourage everyone to be responsible: if in doubt stay home and share memories for now and we look forward to welcoming you soon. In line with the easing of lockdown restrictions in Scotland, visitor attractions including Distillery Visitor Centres are permitted to open from 26th April. See below for those distilleries and visitor centres who have published their plans for reopening from April onwards. Remember to follow instructions from the distillery before and during your visit to ensure a safe visit for you and the distillery team. Some distilleries are offering samples of Scotch Whisky – check with individual visitor centres for what their policy is, and enjoy responsibly. If you know of a distillery visitor centre which has amended their tour policy but is not listed here, please contact info@swa.org.uk Please note that the SWA cannot assist with booking or cancelling a distillery tour or tasting - you will need to contact the visitor centre individually who can advise on the process.

No matter which distillery you choose to visit - be it an island, mainland, large or small - you can expect great Scotch Whisky, a warm Scottish welcome, and a fabulous day out.
