 Scotland - a land bursting with culture, history, mist-covered mountains, secluded lochs, friendly people...and of course superb malt whisky.
And one of the best places to start discovering Scotland's extraordinary liquor is at the remarkable GlenDronach Distillery in Aberdeenshire.
For visitors from Scandinavia to Japan, China, India, Australia and the USA, the distillery's Visitor Centre is a real treasure-trove of GlenDronach expressions, branded clothing and whisky-related items to enjoy this summer.
From its hillside home in the Scottish Highlands, The GlenDronach Distillery has been creating the finest richly sherried single malts for nearly 200 years - which makes it one of Scotland's oldest and most venerable distilleries.
Visitors can join the fascinating daily tours to gain first-hand experience of the workings of a traditional Highland malt distillery.
Pride of place in the Visitor Centre goes to the classic hand-crafted 12, 15 and 18 year-old malts.
Marketing Manager Kerry White enthused: "The 12 year old is rich, creamy and silky-smooth tasting of raisins and soft fruits. The 15 year old - voted Best Single Malt Whisky of the year at the Dutch Whisky awards and elsewhere - has an incredible concentration of aromas, notably treacle toffee and chocolate orange. And the 18 year old is absolutely amazing - fudge, muscovado sugar, fruit compote and glacier morello cherries!
"These are classic Scottish malts that are rich, creamy, silky-smooth with warm, rich oak and sherry sweetness. All are available for tasting and purchase at the Visitor Centre.
"In addition, for our discerning visitors who want something really special this summer, we have some extraordinary expressions.

"There are guided tours of the distillery - daily at 10.00am, 11.00am, 1.00pm, 2.00pm and 3.00pm. They cost just £3 and all visitors receive a generous dram of the GlenDronach 12 year old at the end."
The drama and infinite variety of Scotland's natural features always inspires and impresses visitors. The rolling hills of the Borders and the awesome peaks of the Highlands are absolutely stunning...as are its glorious malt whiskies.
Discover Scotland...and re-discover GlenDronach single malt whisky at our Visitor Centre this summer.
