Lovely little distillery - Lovely small distillery, don’t know it was so young so will have to visit again next year when they crack open their first cask, if the tasting is anything to go by it’s going to be great

Way better than any huge corporate tour - We had the best tour! Guide was so knowledgeable and had many great stories. We learned a lot and tasted some excellent beers and whiskey. Also stayed at the hotel. Location was so close to everything and by the water. Chef’s kiss to an exceptional experience!

A new Inverness 'Must Visit' - Excellent tour and great brewery / distillery for drinks, live music and great atmosphere. A new 'must visit' for Inverness i would say. The tour itself was very good, very detailed and informative with some great samples to drink. The bar downstairs and outdoor area are great with some great beer on tap and live music and the Rugby on the day we visited. Would highly recommend!

Fabulous tour - We took the brewery and distillery tour on March 9th, after running the Inverness half marathon! It was an excellent tour. Emma our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the processes and about whiskey in general. She was also very entertaining and enthusiastic, a terrific communicator. The 'brewstillery' is fascinating and we are looking forward to trying the first whiskeys next year. We sampled a delicious blend of malts made by Uile bheist and their delicious lager. I loved the gaelic mythology used by the distillery and the artwork inside is incredible. A brilliant afternoon.

Amazing experience - We really enjoyed our tour of the Uile bheist distillery and brewery. Our tour guide, Michael, was very knowledgeable and engaging. It was really interesting to hear about carbon neutral processes used in the distillery. We also really enjoyed the stories embedded in local folklore. Tasting was a perfect finish to the tour. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone staying in the area.

Nice but expensive tour. - Was nice tour and guide was knowledgeable but website doesn't make it clear that none of its own whiskey is for sale yet. Bar in distillery is well stocked for both whiskeys and beers and well worth visit for a drink alone. Tour is expensive compared to some I done though.

Run down of how it all works - The distillery is very new and could not see it in action. It's a tour and explanation of how it all works in around an hour. The guide is 5 star though, he is so animated and engaging. Credit to the whole establishment. The tasting, we got one little bit of whisky, some 63% white pure stuff which was lethal, and the beer was lovely. So 3 things to try not 4 on the platter, one glass was empty.
