Finn was great and the tour was enjoyable/informative! Would recommend
Thank you for your kind review! We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed the tour and found it both informative and enjoyable. We'll be sure to pass your lovely feedback on to Finn- it will mean a lot to him. Thanks for the recommendation, and hope to welcome you back on another tour soon!
Tour guide Ross was excellent! The hour tour absolutely flew by. He was super knowledgeable about whisky, this history and the location. Made for an excellent tour
Very welcoming staff, lovely reception bar area with excellent range of whiskies and whiskey cocktails and snacks to choose from to get you in great ‘spirits’ lol! The tour guide ‘Cieran’ was lovely, professional, knowledgeable and couldn’t be more helpful and was very patient in answering any questions. The start of the tour with the large screen and video was good and helped give context. The tasting session was better than any other tour I had been on as you were all sat round a huge elegant table that made the atmosphere like you could be a large Scottish castle (just minus the open fire), the children were offered a soft drink so that made them feel included. The only reason I didn’t give this tour 5 stars was due to the tour feeling very short, compared to all the other distilleries we’ve visited in Scotland this is tiny so there didn’t feel like much to see. We didn’t see the whiskey in the barrels being stored as they have to store elsewhere. Maybe adding some walking around site so you can see how it has actually changed and what remains? Overall would highly recommend.
Nina and Ciaran were superb! Awesome tour and great tasting Scotch! Highly recommend 👌
