Auchentoshan Distillery
14 minute walk from Kilpatrick station · Glasgow and West Central
Auchentoshan is a Lowland single malt Scotch whisky distillery located in Dalmuir, at the foot of the Kilpatrick Hills. Established in 1823, it is known as "Glasgow’s Malt Whisky" and "the breakfast whisky" due to its sweet, delicate nature.
The distillery is unique for practising triple distillation, which uses a third "Intermediate Still" to reach a high spirit strength. This process, combined with unpeated malt, creates a flavour profile that has earned international awards. You can even see a pond created from a World War II bomb crater.
Visitors can enjoy the modern visitor centre and conference facilities, which were completed in 2005. The site is open to the public for tours every day of the week, offering a chance to learn about their maturation process in bourbon, sherry, and wine casks.
