Can I recommend the Auchentoshan distillery (auchentoshan.com) which is the only distillery in Scotland to use triple distillation on every drop of its whisky. It is only about 20-30 minutes from Glasgow city centre. I highly recommend the tour and believe their Whisky to be very smooth. As a none drinker I cannot personally recommend it myself. Hope this helps.
