Distillery Map
Exploring a distillery is a great way to learn first-hand about how Scotch Whisky is made, and there are over 70 Scotch Whisky visitor centres located throughout Scotland's five whisky regions, ready to welcome people whatever stage of their whisky journey they are on.
Visiting a distillery allows you to indulge your passion for Scotch and, at the same time, discover the environment and meet the people that have done so much to shape our iconic product.
It is often necessary to make arrangements in advance, but many distilleries have extensive visitor facilities and do not require prior warning of a visit.
No matter which distillery you choose to visit - be it an island, mainland, large or small - you can expect great Scotch Whisky, a warm Scottish welcome, and a fabulous day out.
You can view the information of all current operating Scotch Whisky distilleries in the Google Map below. The SWA produces a downloadable map every spring (correct at point of publication). You can download the latest 2024 version here.Â
