Knockdhu Distillery was built in 1893 in Aberdeenshire. They use traditional production methods, but their whisky is refreshingly modern. The end result is a lighter-tasting single malt that doesn't compromise on quality.

Aberlour Distillery was originally built it in 1879 and it has been damage, refurbished and expanded many times since then. Their Single Malts are made from expertly crafted new spirit, usually double cask matured for at least 12 years in the finest hand-picked Oloroso Sherry butts and American Oak casks. The depth of flavour comes from how it is made and the ingredients including specially sourced local barley and crystalline spring water used to produce it.

The history of distilling on the Ballindalloch Estate dates back to the 1820’s. In 2011 they began construction of a malt whisky distillery in a 19th century farm steading, making it Scotland’s only whisky distillery to operate within a castle’s grounds and production officially began in late 2014. They have committed to waiting at least eight years before bottling any of Ballindalloch’s whisky, so their Single Malt Whisky is not ready but will be avalible in the future.

At Balvenie their whisky-making process is dedicated to maintaining the Five Rare Crafts and they are the only distillery in Scotland that still grows its own barley, uses traditional floor maltings and keeps both a coppersmith and a team of coopers on site. This traditional method gives the whisky its rich character and flavour.

Benrinnes Distillery was first founded sometime in the 1820s built on the edge of Ben Rinnes Mountain. After being destoryed in a flood it was rebuilt in the 1950s. Benrinnes has been adding the sherry-like qualities to blends for over half a century, and its expressions are unpeated.
