Best Distillery Tour I've Ever Done - This is legit the best distillery tour I've ever been on. Holyrood is a newer distillery but the tour was so professional, educational, and also really entertaining. The space is in an old train station so it's a very cool, different setup from other distilleries. I learned a ton and their gins and whiskys are fantastic!

Fantastic tour at the destillery - Fantastic tour through the destillery. Our guide had great knowledge on the subject and was glad to share his knowledge. We were on a small tour (few participants) which ment that it was easy to see and hear what was going on. Only "negative issue" was two other guests who were very noisy. Our guide was very good in getting them to quiet down a bit. Loved the entire tour ... Including the sights, the smells and the taste. The shop afterwards was also a great experience. Keep up the good work.

Great distillery tour. Well worth it. - Really enjoyed the tour and the guide, Dave, was very knowledgeable about the processes and explained it all very well. The small bar was also very cosy and was a great spot to arrive early and try a “Hauf & Hauf” the missus went for a cocktail that had at least 3 alcoholic components to it. Rocket fuel!! Well worth the trip and is even a nice spot to visit for a drink in the bar without doing the tour.

Excellent. - I'm not really a Gin or Whiskey drinker, however i found this tour very informative. Definitely a positive experience. I love the fact that they are making their product exclusive from year to year, like a good wine. Hoping they remain in businesses for many many many years.

Whisky Education - It was a very enlightening and educational tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Will highly recommend it! We were provided with some samples and I was pretty surprised that whisky can be served as ca cocktail. Only knew it to be drank as neat or on the rocks!

Very good for English speakers - Visit that seemed very funny and interesting, but in English. Because our English is not perfect, we didn't understand half of it. We were able to scan a qr code for succinct and basic explanations. Unfortunately, past the second room, the Wi-Fi was no longer active and therefore the application unusable... Too bad because it is a very nice place and the tasting was interesting
