Distilleries by area

Western Highlands

This wild and hilly area with a windy seaside was not favourable for distillation. Only two distilleries in the North of the area and two others in the South are still active.

For a quick description and a map of the producing areas, please click on the map on the left.

Whisky is an alcoholic drink. Let's prefer quality to quantity as the abuse of alcohol beverages can damage the health. Consuming alcoholic drinks during pregnancy, even in small quantities, can seriously affect the health of the child. Consumption of alcohol impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery, and may cause health problems.
