Cardrona Distillery

Fodor's Choice

Their first batch of 10-year old single malt whisky is now ready, but Cardrona Distillery has already built its loyal following from their three- and five-year-old batches, and lovely range of liqueurs, vodka, and gin. The setting, tucked away high in the Cardrona Valley, is beautiful and an idyllic spot for brunch and dinner. They offer 75-minute tours departing hourly 10–3 every day. They have also just opened their special "The Cardrona Family Reserve Tour," which is a three-plus hour dream for any whisky lover.  Book tours in advance if you're visiting during the holidays or long weekends.
