Cragganmore DistilleryGlenfarclas Distillery TourThe Glenlivet Scotch Whisky Distillery and Visitor Centre
An industry that did succeed in Glenlivet was the distilling of whisky. Before regulation, the secluded hills provided many secure sites for producing illicit spirit, while the hill tracks provided quiet routes out of the Glen for a product whose quality drew a steady, if illegal demand. When distilling was legalised in 1823, George Smith a local farmer, set up a distillery on his farm near Minmore. Today the successor of his original distillery has the sole right to call its product 'The Glenlivet' and the reputation of whisky produced in the glen extends world wide.
The distillery is open to visitors during the summer and the visitor centre building, formerly the grain store and malting, houses a multi-media exhibition, together with shop and a cafe. Visitors can also see the whisky making process and sample the product.
