Good all day scotch experience tour
Great Scotland country tour... Whole day experience, visited 2 distillery places.. first one was Dewar Scotch and second one was GlenTurret.
Driver was Johney, good and safe driving. If you are a scotch lover or want to see core rural Scotland then this tour is a must.

First timer whisky taster
Our guide and driver John A was fantastic. A wealth of info on history, whisky and on local Scottish famous people. Great way to send a lovely day and drink a few drams of whisky. Recommend this tour even if you are a rookie whisky drinker like me.

This was an incredible...
This was an incredible experience! I booked this for my husband and I for as part of our honeymoon adventure and it did not disappoint. Marty, our driver and guide, was AMAZING and hysterical from the moment he started the van!
The distilleries were informative, and beautiful. And while whisky hasn’t been my go to, each guide shared information and explained everything so wonderfully, I actually enjoyed the tastes we had. Tom at Aberfeldy was so knowledgeable and the chocolate pairing we did there was top notch!
Would highly recommend to anyone interested in whisky (or not) as it was such a wonderful time!
Operator response
Thank you for travelling with Timberbush! We're absolutely delighted that your honeymoon whisky tour was such a memorable experience. Marty will be thrilled to hear his humour and guiding helped make the day so special. It's wonderful that you enjoyed the distillery visits, tastings, and chocolate pairing at Aberfeldy. Thank you for the recommendation, and congratulations on your honeymoon!

Informative, enjoyable
Our guide Jacqueline was very bubbly and fun. She made the long ride enjoyable. Actual fees for the distillery tour and tasting not part of the overall tour fee and paid directly to the distillery, so it was a good flexible option. Interesting and informative. Drives were long so the whole day will take you to only 2 distilleries with only short in-between stops for quick photo snaps of the views and lunch. Overall, the tour was relaxing and enjoyable for a beginners' guide to get a full view of the Scotch whisky experience, much better than any Scotch whisky experience just in Edinburgh. Worth going out of the city for.
Operator response
Thank you for travelling with Timberbush! We're delighted to hear Jacqueline made the journey so enjoyable with her fun and bubbly personality. It's great that you appreciated the flexibility of the distillery visits and found the tour both informative and relaxing. We hope to welcome you back for another whisky adventure soon! 😊

Whiskey, Scenic countryside and Jim
What a wonderful day of whiskey, scenic views, and an amazing narrative by our guide Jim. Jim’s knowledge of Scottish history and his enthusiasm just added to the charm of driving up to Aberfeldy and witnessing the amazing Scottish countryside. The distilleries chosen were a combination of historical and technical significance for those that enjoy a dram! I would highly recommend taking this tour and seeking Jim as your guide
