Scotland’s whisky distilleries are one of the country’s most popular tourist attractions.
The only problem is that after touring the distillery and learning how the whisky is made it’s essential to taste some of the product itself, making it impossible to drive.
The simple solution is to stay at a hotel nearby, letting you enjoy the fruits of the distiller’s labour without worrying about how to get home.
Here are the best hotels to stay at near 13 of Scotland’s most highly-rated distillery tours according to TripAdvisor.
