Auchentoshan Distillery and Visitor Centre

Auchentoshan Distillery and Visitor Centre

The Auchentoshan Distillery and Visitor Centre is one of the closest distilleries to the city of Glasgow. So if you're looking for an authentic taste of Scottish whisky, it could well be worth taking a tour around the premises.

Among the Auchentoshan Distillery and Visitor Centre's events are a bi-annual festival, dinners and tastings. Or if you are conducting business in Glasgow, then hiring the location out for a meeting could make for a pleasant change.

While you're in the area, it is worth taking a trip across Erskine Bridge. This bridge used to charge drivers a toll but it's now free, so it won't cost you a penny to drive across to get a spectacular view up towards the Highlands.

Make sure you assign someone as your designated driver before you reach the Auchentoshan Distillery and Visitor Centre, however, because once you're there it could be all too easy to get carried away with tastings of the unique single malt.
