If you’re exploring the distilleries of Scotland, it’s always useful to have a list of distilleries that are selling something that little bit more unique – a piece of Scotch whisky history; a chance to make your mark on the development of a new distillery; or perhaps just something to add to your cabinet that’s rare, exceptional and most importantly, a delicious memento from your visit.
