Fun, interesting, fantastic - The stories of Euan made it a verry funny and interesting afternoon. His mix of facts, anecdotes and folklore stories and the wiskies are fantastic.

One of the best experiences to have in Edinburgh! - This was an absolutely wonderful experience, my personal favorite of the ones we did while visiting Edinburgh. Aly was such a wonderful host and incredibly knowledgeable. I will say this was not exactly what I initially expected, but turned out so much better. Aly's storytelling was so intentional, and yes he's a storyteller by profession, but he does it so well. If you're looking for something just a little off the beaten path, but still informational, because you will learn about whisky, do this! You will not regret the experience.

Fun, informative and tasty! - We enjoyed the tasting and the talk that went with it. It was very informative while being laid back and fun. We learned a lot about the whisky-making process and had some good laughs along the way.

Highly recommend - Excellent tasting (x4 different whiskeys from different parts of Scotland) and tales to go along. Small group. Don't need to like Whiskey, as its a good chance to try different ones.

Not just for whisky drinkers - This was a very fun way to hear a bit about the history of Edinburgh and try whisky from four regions of Scotland. Eleanor was an entertaining storyteller and fiddle player and the whisky was tasty.

Brilliant - Absolutely brilliant. Ewan was a fantastic guide, storyteller and entertainer. Really enjoyed the experience and would recommend to anyone who enjoys or would like to dip their toe into the vast world of Scotch Whisky. I was with my wife who has no love what-so-ever for Whisky but she really enjoyed the experience provided by Ewan (and I got to double up on the drinks). Overall a very worth while evening.
