Perfect Glasgow afternoon! - It was fabulous. Neil was a warm, friendly, knowledgeable and passionate guide who tailored the whisky choices to the tastes of our group. He answered all our questions about whisky, Glasgow history and current events generously. Neil’s approach to whiskey is accessible and not pretentious. It was lovely afternoon and we kinda want to be friends with him now ! Glasgow is a great city and Neil’s tour was a great intro to it and to Scotch! Pro tip: don’t wear a football jersey/colours on this tour; they won’t let you into the bars. This is a “must do” in Glasgow!

Knowledge, easy going a whole lot of fun - We went along to Dram Jam at the Old Toll Bar. What an amazing night! Great atmosphere with like minded people. Neill and John were really knowledgeable and passionate about whisky and local suppliers. No worries if you're not a massive whisky fan either as their alternative cocktails were amazing! Id really recommend this as a night out.

An excellent way to spend an afternoon in Glasgow! - Neil was an excellent guide. Very relaxed, friendly, knowledgeable. One of the best afternoons we’ve spent in Glasgow. Choice of pubs and whisky couldn’t have been any better. Would highly recommend.

Glasgow insight and one of a kind whiskies - This was probably the most special afternoon we'll have on our trip. We learn insights into Glasgow and the people of Glasgow that we wouldn't have otherwise gained. The first pub, the oldest bar in Glasgow, was so cool that we came back later that night for a live band. We had a great time. Then, at the third bar, a private club, we had single cask malt whiskeys that you can get no other place. All in all, it was a fun, generous, and insightful afternoon. I recommend it fully. I suggest that you choose this over any other whiskey tour. Scottish Rogue has fewer five star reviews than the other companies because they've only been tours doing tours since February 2025. But don't count that against them. Enjoy their tour while you can, before they open their own place, switch to only doing group events, or some other step up in growth.

Great Introduction to Scotch Whiskey - It was an excellent experience! We received a tremendous amount of information on how Scotch-Whiskey is produced, how it differs from Bourbon, and a full history of the development of the industry and how it changed over time (ask about the role of industrial espionage). Additionally, we met three other couples whose company we very much enjoyed; one among them was celebrating an important milestone in life and it added to the fun.

Fantastic whisky history tour - This was a great tour. I went as an introduction to whisky. I learned a lot about whisky, Glasgow, and the history of both. Neil was fantastic and very informative. I highly recommend this tour.

Stop Looking and Book this Pub Crawl! GREAT COMPANY!! - Stop looking and book your Whisky Pub Crawl now with Scottish Rogue! From beginning to end Neill was professional, extremely knowledgeable, caring, fun, very aware of safety as we walked around and just a blast to have as a guide. We had rain here and there during the crawl and he adapted and made it fun! Neill is passionate about Whisky and it shows. I am a Whisky lover and it doesn't matter if you are just learning or you have a little more knowledge and experience with your share of drams over the years, he immediately makes you feel comfortable and wants you to have fun during the process. The history that he provided throughout the crawl is absolutely amazing. Weaving the historical facts during the journey tied to whisky made it even more interesting and fun. You can tell he really cares about his city, the Whisky and making it a wonderful personal experience for the people on the Crawl. Booking was super easy with very clear directions and definitely worth the money spent. I have no hesitation recommending Scottish Rogue and will absolutely book them when I return. And this is not a paid review. Just a well deserved review for a genuinely great guy and wonderful company. Book this or any of their events...you won't regret it.

Fantastic afternoon - To begin, making arrangements for our whisky tour was super easy as their website is foolproof! We met with Neill and John as arranged in St Enoch's square. We really enjoyed hearing about some of the local history of Glasgow, including facts that I'd never heard before, and I'm Glaswegian. We visited 3 pubs and tasted a different malt at each one. It was a great atmosphere, filled with humour and friendly banter. I would recommend it to everyone, even those that don't have whisky as their normal tipple (such as myself 😄) Thanks to Scottish Rogue for a fantastic afternoon!

Touring the City with a Dram – A Brilliant Whisky Walk - As someone who doesn’t usually drink whisky, I wasn’t sure what to expect—but I left this tour with a warm glow (and not just from the drams!). The experience was genuinely enjoyable and surprisingly educational. I came away with a new appreciation for whisky, armed with some fascinating facts I’d never known before. What really made the tour stand out was the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere created by our guides, Neil and John. From the moment we met, it was clear this wasn’t going to be a stuffy or overly serious affair. They struck the perfect balance of knowledgeable and down-to-earth, making the experience feel inclusive rather than pretentious. Each pub had its own charm, and the route gave a great flavour of Glasgow’s character—not just through the drinks, but through the city itself. I’d happily recommend this tour to anyone, whisky lover or not. It’s a great way to see Glasgow through a different lens, meet some friendly faces, and maybe even develop a taste for the water of life. 🥃😊
