The Glenlivet distillery itself is located in Speyside, Scotland’s second largest whisky-producing region
The distillery itself is located in Speyside, Scotland’s second largest whisky-producing region, so you can do a little sightseeing here as well as taste some delicious whisky. The area has plenty of beautiful scenery to offer as well as is family-friendly with plenty of activities for children and adults alike.
The Glenlivet Distillery is open all year round; however, if you’re visiting during the winter months from October to April we recommend booking ahead of time due to the high demand during this period.
The oldest whisky bar in Scotland is called the Ben Nevis. If you like the big city character and charm of a local pub with the best whisky The Ben Nevis Bar is it.
We called into The Ben Nevis on a cold afternoon, looking for a cozy place for a quiet drink, and that's exactly what we got. The fire was roaring and the small bar was dotted with just a few punters, chatting and drinking. The staff here is incredibly friendly, and within minutes we were waxing away with the owner and his friend, who turned out to be the designer behind the bar's unique features. As we left we were invited back for the trad session later that evening. The Ben Nevis offers the kind of charm and friendliness you'd expect from rural pubs, much less a boozer on a busy street in Glasgow City Centre. If you're looking to show off Scotland's incredible hospitality, this is the place to take your guests.
This iconic establishment is known for its friendly atmosphere and impressive collection of over 600 varieties of whisky. Try one of their inventive cocktails or opt for the classic whisky sour. You won’t be disappointed! Don't miss the Pot Still for sure
One of the most iconic establishments in Glasgow, The Pot Still has been serving up whisky since 1885. This is one of Britain’s longest-running whisky bars, so you know it’s doing something right!
The friendly atmosphere at this bar sets it apart from other places; even if you don’t have much experience with whisky yourself, this is a great place to start. They have an impressive collection of over 600 varieties from all over Scotland, as well as several excellent cocktails that incorporate their tasty age-old spirits. The classic whisky sour is especially popular—but we recommend trying them all for yourself!
