Glenfiddich
This distillery is big and busy, but handiest for Dufftown and foreign languages are available. The standard tour starts with an overblown video, but it’s fun, informative and free. An in-depth Connoisseur’s Tour (£20) must be prebooked. Glenfiddich kept single malt alive during the dark years. Recommended.
