Nice experience to taste whiskies and listen to stories - We had a great time listening to some stories related to Scotland and drinking 4 different scotch whiskies. The room was downstairs and had comfortable chairs and individual tables for parties of two.

Whisky Galore - Friendly and informative historical narration aligned perfectly with the four single malt whiskies. Special mention to Jule for making our two hours throughly enjoyable.

Tasting the Scotch Folklore - Our host for the whisky tasting session was Allistair and he was really freindly, knowledgeable and warm. The bar is really big and comfortable to sit and enjoy the whisky, Overally, its a beautiful experience and worth the money.

Distillery tour without the distillery! - Our host was Spanish which was a little surprising but she was very engaging and had a good knowledge of the history and manufacturing of whisky. It was a bit like a whisky tour without the distillery. Not a bad idea on a cold wet night!

Whisky tasting and tales on a rainy , windy, December evening. - Great evening! Euan certainly knew his whisky’s and we found out a lot about the whisky production and its history in Scotland as well as getting to taste 4 very different whiskys. ( We had different favourites!) . A very friendly atmosphere, we had two people from The Netherlands next to us whom we mostly chatted with but there were a fair few nations represented the evening we went, which was lovely. Euan not only knew his stuff but kept us in line well , bringing our attention back to him with the introduction of each new whisky and its story . Great stories from Scottish history too. Should make a note that not everyone drank the whisky , alternatives were offered at each round, or you can opt for no alcohol.

Alistair the GOAT - Alistair NEEDS a Netflix documentary about Scottish whiskey. Would watch (& come back if I can ever afford) & recommend to my scotch loving father.

Great Introduction to Scotch Whisky - Our guide leader was informative about the history and variety of Scotch whisky, and also had some great stories! It was a fun event, and was exactly as advertised.

Really wanted to like it, but it wasn't a good experience. - We went to the whiskey tour based on the great reviews. Unfortunately, it was bad in all possible ways: the venue was nothing like a pub, the guide was German and didn't particularly like whiskey, the stories were quite boring, and the 4 whiskeys we tried were mediocre.
