A new distillery with a refreshing approach - We've visited a few distilleries over the years and this is one of the newest. The tour was excellent and it's clear that everyone working there is passionate about their job and the products. A really innovative approach to brewing and distilling and it was great to get up and close with the latest tech!
A fantaastic tasting to end the tour and the bar area is worth visiting in its own right!

Makes you happy - Informative tour that takes place in a small area due to the youth of construction, but you learn everything from the ghosts and monsters, the raw materials to the beers and the first whiskey (2022 bottled and stored outside, so not ready yet). At the end 2 beers and a sip of a new blended whisky to taste (Colpach)

Lovely bristillery - It’s a lovely brewery with a very good modern beer and a young distillery for scotch apart from the fact that there’s no scotch yet. But we’re sure that the whiskey will have the same high quality as the beer has. In our opinion, the professional and friendly team is a guarantee for this. Recommended location.

Informative but otherwise disappointing - The tour was full of facts about brewing beer and whiskey. However it came short of entertaining the audience. There was no guided tasting or explanation of what to look for or taste. We were merely presented with one sample of lager, one of the spirit that will become whiskey and one whiskey blended from products sourced from other distilleries. It was not clear from the marketing before booking the tour that this distillery is not yet able to offer its own single malt for tasting or sale as it is too new. For what we paid, from previous experience of similar tours and from what I had been led to expect from others who had done tours of other distilleries, this was disappointing.
