The production process is laid out over the first 4 floors of the building, with the gleaming copper stills set on the ground floor. The upper half of the building is given over to visitor facilities, with a tasting floor, shop and reception, private dining rooms and an incredible double-height bar on the 8th and 9th stories, commanding views across the Firth of Forth, over to Fife, and back up across Edinburgh.Tours are available from Wednesday to Sunday, 11am to 8pm.
