Home of Scottish Whisky
What's more Scottish than whisky? That's what I thought, too, so I took advantage of our visit to the Highlands and visited a distillery. Glencoyne, near Glasgow, is one of the most famous distilleries. Even though I'm not very fond of whisky, I decided to try it and learn a little more about it, besides the fact that it warms the stomach. The distillery in Glencoyne is like a postcard. It's an old building with a beautiful pagoda, fireplace, barrels, and the fountain, from which the water comes for processing. There are guided tours every hour that are very interesting, as long as you understand the guides, who speak with Scottish accents.
But If you stay focused, you should be alright. The tour lasts about 45 minutes, in which they will explain, step by step, the process of making whisky. There's a gift shop where you can try one or more whiskys. According to the tour guide, you have purchase it in the beginning. For me, trying the 10 year was enough. A highly recommended experience.
