Auchentoshan Distillery

Whisky in Clydebank, Glasgow

Is it worth visiting?

Suits visitors staying in Glasgow who want a distillery tour without a long drive, and newcomers who prefer a lighter whisky. At £22 the Origin Tour costs about the same as most Scottish entry tours, so it is no longer a budget option. Skip it if you want to see production running, because distillation is paused. It works best as half of a Glasgow day with Glengoyne.
