Whisky tasting at it's best - David was very knowledgeable about the whisky he was demonstrating. He answered every question clearly and you could tell he had a real interest in the whisky he talked about.

Insightful and enjoyable, what’s not to like! - Anyone visiting Scotland/St Andrews this place is a must see. I have never been much of a whiskey drinker so wasn’t knowledgable prior to my arrival however this was not an issue with my fantastic host. We were not only made to feel welcome but we were also met with a wealth of knowledge, kindness and all the appeal you can imagine from a whiskey drinking experience within the prestigious setting of the Old Course Hotel! I can do nothing but recommend this experience and hope you all get the same host as we did, Matthew, a local Scot.

Amazing experience - A man named Matthew provided a very informative and interesting whiskey and gin tasting. He was very charismatic and gave us a clear run down of the history of the Gins and whiskeys, their flavours and an introduction on how to properly taste them. 10/10 experience !
