The Clydeside Tour

About this experience

The Clydeside Tour The Clydeside Tour is an expert-guided experience inside a working Glasgow distillery, taking visitors through every stage of Scottish whisky production. Your guide leads you through the full distilling process, from malting and mashing to fermentation and distillation, with traditional methods visible at each step along the way. The tour takes in impressive copper wash and spirit stills, illustrating the craftsmanship behind each whisky's character. Interactive storytelling brings the experience to life through live footage and animation, revealing how the River Clyde shaped Glasgow's whisky industry and how traditional techniques sit alongside modern innovation.
