Great tour of a young distillery - Super amazing tour. Our guide Ellie was amazing. It was kind of cool to get to know a distillery so early in its journey, even before they have a whisky released. Definitely builds some anticipation. Even so, the tasting of new spirits, and the sherry and port casks their whisky is aging in, as well as another table whisky was super fun. Definitely recommend.

Great place to visit - Great experience at the Port of Leith distillery. Not a whisky drinker but still thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the whisky, port and sherry tasting at the end! Simon the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and the views were spectacular. Nice bar to go to before or after the tour. A great place to spend an afternoon.

If you have time, it is a great experience - A new distillery that is very unique in it's vertical design. Our guide Izzy was fantastic and kept our interests the entire time of our tour. I would definitely would do this over the Johnnie Walker Experience.
