Deanston
This distillery sits on the banks of the River Teith less than 35 miles from central Glasgow; the nearest train station is Dunblane. It has only been in operation since 1967 although the building is an 18th century cotton mill, enhancing the mystique. At the end of your tour you get to sample the multiple award-winning 12-year-old, making the basic entry price a definite bargain.
