Glen Ord Distillery sits in the quiet farming country of Muir of Ord on the Black Isle, one of the oldest continuously operating distilleries in Scotland. Founded in 1838, it was for many years one of Scotland's most important suppliers of malt to the blending industry. Today it operates as part of Diageo's Highland portfolio and is the home of The Singleton of Glen Ord — a smooth, fruity single malt popular across Asia and increasingly in Europe. The distillery has one of the last traditional floor maltings in Scotland — a vast warehouse where barley is spread and turned by hand — making it a compelling visit for those interested in the full whisky-making process.
In Muir of Ord village on the Black Isle — take the A862 from Beauly or the A835/A832 from Inverness. Distillery is signed in the village. About 14 miles from Inverness.
