📌 Bridge of Cally, Perth & Kinross
★★
Based at the foot of the scenic Cairnwell Pass, Persie Distillery is a welcome recent addition to the southern Cairngorms tourist scene. Official tours can be booked in advance, but most visitors just turn up for a browse or an informal tasting. As with most Scottish gin distilleries, liquor is distilled in small batches on a few days each week. You can peek at Phil the Still (yes, really) through a large window in the shop, or up close on a proper tour. Several contrasting gins are currently on sale, and we were impressed by the variety: indeed, impressed enough that we bought a few small bottles to take home.
