At Clynelish distillery in Brora, we’re honoured to have received the UK’s highest eco-tourism award in our journey to a greener future. Our distillery and visitor experience earned the prestigious gold certification from Green Tourism for our sustainable practices. 

We were recognised for our efforts to encourage sustainable travel, including the installation of cycle racks and planned electric vehicle charging points for all our future visitors. Following a distillery upgrade, old pumps and motors were replaced with new, more energy efficient equipment. Which means that, combined with the introduction of low energy lighting and lighting sensor activation, Clynelish has recorded electrical savings of approximately 3874 KWh per week.

We’re pleased to have consulted Euan’s Guide to ensure that we provide disabled access information upfront to give all our visitors the confidence to visit our distillery and enjoy the experience. Please do let us know if you have any specific requirements at the time of your booking and a member of staff will be in touch.

Please ask one of our guides when you visit if you would like to use the induction loop system or if you have any queries.
