エディンバラ：ホリールード蒸留所のウィスキーとジンのツアーと試飲

Great tour, we really appreciated hearing the history of scotch whiskey, and we were surprised to here as much on their Gin.

We enjoyed our tour guided by Guy with his enthousiastic en explenations an comments.

I went on the Distillery After Hours Tour and had an absolutely fantastic time from start to finish. It was well organised, relaxed, and struck the perfect balance between being entertaining and informative. Our guide, Courtney, was outstanding. She was warm, friendly, funny, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable, delivering the tour with genuine enthusiasm and plenty of humour. She made everyone feel welcome and was happy to answer questions throughout, making the experience feel personal rather than scripted. My companion and I thoroughly enjoyed sampling the different spirits and learning about how they’re made. The tasting was generous and varied, and the highlight for us was definitely getting the chance to mix our own cocktail. It was a brilliant hands-on activity that added a really fun element to the evening. One thing I particularly appreciated was that there was absolutely no hard sell at the end. You were free to browse the shop without any pressure to buy anything, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. A huge thank you to Courtney for making the evening so memorable. She is a real credit to the distillery, and thanks to her, we left having learned something new, shared plenty of laughs, and had a genuinely wonderful time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and enjoyable experience.

A friendly small distillery. The staff were knowledgeable and Cillian was a wonderful tour guide.

Aoife was a fantastic tour host. The entire operation is very cool. I love the concept and vibe. They were very accommodating for mobility challenges and kids in our group. 😁

Great and educational, good guide. Good Gin and Whiskey

We were looking for some whisky tour and found this one while we had our stay in Edinburgh. I'd start by saying that the staff is really awesome, prepared, and ready to assist you in any way they can. We choose the spooky tour 👻 Courtney, our tour guide, made the tour a pleasure, and her expertise made our experience buttery smooth. As for the "spooky" part, I was expecting more atmosphere and specific effects, but that's a subjective expectation maybe. Note: if your only purpose is to find pretty long aged whiskeys this is NOT the place for you. They are a really young distillery (7 years at the time of writing), so they have been coming up with quite a bit of creativity to stand up in the crowd, like playing around with various yeasts, malt, barley and whatever (I'm not an expert btw), you get the point. They also make their own Gin of course, since it does not require any aging and other stuff worth trying in my opinion.

Fun and informative. Really enjoyed the cocktail at the beginning.

Fantastic tour! Aoife was a brilliant tour guide, entertaining and informative. Great experience, thoroughly recommended.

What an experience! Learnt so much in the most fun way possible & it was delicious. Must 100% mention Killian for being the best host! Knowledgable & funny, his years in the industry shows. Holyrood Distillery is a must visit!
