Benromach Distillery, Forres
Benromach Distillery is the smallest working distillery in Speyside. In 1993, malt whisky specialists Gordon & MacPhall rescued the empty distillery and set about restoring it to its former glory. Visit The Malt Whisky Centre, formerly the drier house, sit in the 'wee nook' and watch a video depicting the history of Gordon & MacPhail or enjoy a tutored tasting.
Glen Moray Distillery, Elgin
Glen Moray has been located on the banks of the River Lossie since 1897, and in over a century, everything but the ingredients and skills of those responsible for the splendid malt whisky has changed. Enjoy a tour of the distillery and meet the craftsmen, then savour the taste of this fine whisky before you leave.
