Ailsa Bay Distillery is a newer distillary based in Girvan. After eight years of production, Ailsa Bay's first official bottling as a single malt was a no-age-statement heavily peated whisky released in 2016. They are one of the only distilleries to use a process called 'micro-maturation' to distill and mature their whisky. So far the expressions they have realesed are peated whiskies.

Annandale Distillery was built in 1830, and recently, after being unused for almost ninty years, was refurbished in 2007. The distillery now produces two types of single malt whisky, both matured in American oak barrels – an unpeated spirit that’s described as “smooth and sophisticated”, and a peated version is depicted as “strong and powerful”.

Bladnoch Distillery was originally founded in 1817 and is Scotland’s most southerly distillery. This Lowland distillery restarted distillation in 2017 and is currently releasing limited edition whiskies using old casks filled before Bladnoch fell silent. They are currently distilling and producing new whisky and hopefully will release new Single Malts in the future.

Opened in 2017, Clydeside Distillery intends to create a malt whisky that reflects the city’s shipping heritage. They have brought together traditional and new at The Clydeside Distillery, using traditional techniques for making their new Clydeside Single Malt Scotch Whisky in a brand new and modern Distillery. As they are a newer distillery they are currently still producing their whisky and will release bottled Single Malts in the future.

Daftmill Distillery is on a working family farm that converted three of their buildings into a distillery in 2003 and were granted their licence two years later. The whisky produced is not only made from malting barley grown on the farm, but is also made using water from Daftmill’s own natural spring. None of the maturing stock has yet been released, though samples from casks show that it is mature, balanced with a gentle herbal note, and very much ready for sale.
