Distillery Visitor Centres in and around Knockando

Cardhu
  A warm welcome awaits you at the Cardhu Distillery, the only malt distillery pioneered by a woman. A deliberately slow rate of distillation together with the special qualities of the spring water yields a malt whisky of the subtlest flavour. Discover the story of the Cardhu Distillery and how the unique, silky smooth malt whisky produced there is used in some of the award winning JOHNNIE WALKER scotch whiskies.

Glenfarclas
  The Glenfarclas Distillery was purchased by the Grant family in 1865 for £511.19s. Currently the 5th and 6th generation of the Grant family own and manage the distillery, which is one of only a handful that are truly independent family run businesses. The family's commitment to producing superior quality Single Highland Malt in a traditional Speyside style, with a heavy sherry influence, was honoured in 2006, when Glenfarclas was named Distiller of the Year by Whisky Magazine.
