Memorable day in Speyside district - Planned and ordered a whisky tasting tour with assistance of Whiskywheels. The communication in the planning phase was good and the performance of the tailormade tour to the Speyside district was excellent.

Highly Recommend - Would highly recommend. The choice of distilleries were fantastic, with the recommendation of GlenAllachie being a real hidden gem. Euan and Damon were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and reliable. I had a memorable/brilliant few days. So much so, I’m looking to book the Islay tour for next year with friends.
