We had a great time. Allister was great and told us a lot of interesting stories. Would definitely recommend!
We loved this tasting experience! Koffe was an excellent host. I chose this tasting experience over the other options because it promised four tastings from different regions as well as stories. We learned how to 'talk' to the scotch, what makes each scotch unique and the history of distilling. Fascinating! We were also entertained with stories before, after and between the generous samples giving us time to savor the scotches that were served and learning, in a fun way, a bit more about history, Scotland and the crazy things people will do to preserve their livelihood and culture. I love storytelling and Koffe is an excellent storyteller! I'm not the biggest fan of scotch, but I now have a greater appreciation for it. Thank you for an entertaining and educational evening.
Absolutely fantastic. Ben was a great guide. We have done several of the whiskey tours in Edinburgh and this one is far and away the best.
Wonderful night. Koffe provided expert guidance on a well curated selection of whiskeys. The stories were very interesting and Koffe's delivery kept us well entertained. Highly reccommend.
Ben was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to! Still not a frequent whiskey drinker but I understand how to do it now!
A lot of fun. Jess was great as our guide through the experience. Some good choices for whiskeys to sample the different regions. She was very informative about what we were drinking and also told some good stories.
Interesting and fun - good stories, good crowd. Max was very nice
We got to try 4 different scotch whiskies from across Scotland, and there was plenty to go around (and even have 2nds since not everyone tried all pours). Ben was an awesome guide, walking us through the history of whisky in Scotland and how it’s intertwined with the country’s history. I thought 2 hours would be long for 4 tastes, but the tasting was well-paced. Only small ask is that they provide some snacks. But otherwise an awesome activity!
Scotch was good but the stories and history were better.
I don't have an interest in whisky, I just came along because my friend really wanted to do the tour. To my surprise I ended up enjoying the tour, especially the story telling from the charismatic Koffe. I now have an understanding of the spirit of scotch whisky as well as some of the historical characters of Scottish history such as Walter Scott, deacon Brodie and burke and hare. I recommend this tour, even if you don't like whisky
