Great place to visit - This distillery/brewery visit was carried out by Richard. He was very knowledgeable and informative on our tour. The beer on tap in the bar was excellent. Definitely recommend doing this activity when in Inverness.

Quaint, modern and full of potential - Great tour in an upcoming brewery and distillery. Whilst they may not have a single malt available now, this revolutionary joint brewery and distillery is making its mark in Scotland. The tour guides and bar staff are very informative, even if the tour is slightly short, the beer is great and I can't wait for the first single malt to be available. Great bar and hotel on the side, they offer live music in the bar and from next year will be offering food too. A sweet little distillery and brewery that's venturing into great things

You’ve got to try this! - Our tour guide, Sasha, was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the Uile Bheist distillery-cum-brewery in Inverness: the processes; its products; its aims and its hopes for the near future. After our tour of the Uile-Bheist premises, Sasha directed us in a very pleasurable tasting of both the beers and the whiskies produced by the company. All-in-all, I can thoroughly recommend this tour next time you visit Inverness.

Great tour - I enjoyed the tour we've got, we had a friendly tour guide who knows her stuff. We had the extra option so we could also taste all their different beers.

Relaxing and Insightful - The guide was very knowledgeable, funny and friendly :) Only downside was that we booked our trip during their holiday period, so we didn't see the "brewstillery" in action. It would have been nice to know that before paying full-price for the tickets~

Didn't impress - Felt that so many opportunities were missed to make this tour better. The artwork is fabulous, the tales the artworks are based on are classic. However, it wasn't given enough attention and there was no link at all between the artwork and the actual product. At its heart this is a brewery. It's not a distillery yet and arguably shouldn't be. Focus on the brewery. The guide had a lot of technical details but didn't really read the room (of just 5 people) and ploughed on with more and more technical detail. It was too technical. The taster at the end of the tour risked being drowned out by some loud shouting blokes. Fortunately they went off to drink champagne upstairs! We felt that the taster might have offered more tasters of the beer brewed on site. We had one small glass of beer, a glass of water and a whisky. While the experimental whisky was ok, the clear stuff was awful. This has the potential to be so much better.
