Detailed information
Whisky with a view: Benbecula Distillery
The Benbecula Distillery is a project that combines tradition and modernity. Where salmon used to be processed, there is now a distillery whose unique location offers an incomparable view of the sea. A particular eye-catcher is the glass extension in the shape of a lighthouse. It is reminiscent of the Stevenson lighthouses on the Monach Islands and blends harmoniously into its surroundings. From here, visitors can enjoy impressive views of the wild, hilly landscape. Every year, the Benbecula Distillery produces around 350,000 litres of whisky, which is matured in carefully selected bourbon and sherry casks. Craftsmanship, quality and origin combine to create a whisky that delights visitors.
