Top Notch Experience
Had a great time. Our driver Willy is very personable and entertaining. Former constable and had a lot of local knowledge and stories to share. He is even chums with the king! (It’s a funny story). Beau is incredibly knowledgeable about the whiskeys of Scotland and we had a great tasting prepared for us. Would recommend highly.

Outstanding whiskys
Had a great time with fantastic whiskys! The place was immaculate, the breadth of knowledge around whiskys was outstanding! You would really be missing out if you liked whiskys.

Great Whiskey education
Great experience. Beau was very knowledgeable and informative. Don’t be concerned that it is in a “liquor store.” It is a specialty liquor store like none you’ve ever seen. It was well worth the cost.

Whisky tasting at it's best!
Grand Drams, hosted by Beau, provided a fantastic evening of whisky tasting and education after our corporate day at Cabot Highland. We arrived to a beautiful set up of fine whiskies and were walked through the tasting with a breakdown of production and aging of each spirit with conversation on the complex flavour and aroma. A grand evening with Grand Drams.

Amazing!
I have never experienced this level of expertise, friendliness, and passion from a guide before. He truly lives and breathes whisky and creates such a warm, humorous, and welcoming atmosphere. It felt more like spending time with a friend than being on a tour. Simply a fantastic experience.
