Visitors have a real desire to find out more about Scotch whisky, and visiting a distillery remains a ‘must-do’ activity. In fact, approximately 8% of visitors to Scotland tour a distillery. More distilleries are investing in improved visitor facilities with a real emphasis on education and entertainment. Many distilleries now offer additional connoisseur tours, masterclasses and opportunities to bottle or even blend your own Whisky – as well as participating in Whisky Festivals. - Chris Conway, ScotlandWhisky
