Great experience in a historic building. Fun way to learn and drink at the same time! - Fabulous tour. Great whiskey. Ethan was a great guide! Book a tour earlier in the afternoon to be able to enjoy more whiskey at the onsite bar!

Would definitely Recommend! - Booked onto the tour with my dad as a birthday present and we weren’t disappointed! We arrived a few minutes late and were accommodated very well by Ryan. He was fab, very knowledgeable and friendly. After the tour we passed a few hours in the bar with Gerald, Ethan and Sam serving us, All amazing and a really enjoyable experience

Excellent - We had a team day with work at the distillery and it was just fantastic. The meeting room was special with big windows. We finished with a tour and our guide Sam was the best! Her enthusiasm and smiles were infectious. Great knowledge and just so fun.

Must see attraction - Fantastic experience. Well worth a visit. Fantastic setting with a perfect balance of history and present day. Feels like a family with passionate staff who care about the product. Ethan was an excellent host and provided a brilliant tour in this unique setting. Whisky is delicious.

Great tour with a great guide - Turned up only to be told I was the only one booked on the tour. I was a bit apprehensive at first but within a minute or two spent with my guide Gerald I was at ease. A really friendly, knowledgeable guy who clearly loves bringing people around his workplace. And why wouldn't he? Its a stunning building. Couldn't recommend highly enough.
