We where a very small group. The guide was a lady who was so lovely! She really made you feel like she was telling you the story in a private living room. No rush or emotionless guiding. I loved it so much.

    I liked learning about the different regions whiskey comes from. And the tasting was good as well.

  • From curious to connoisseur in 50 mins

    If you’ve ever wondered what makes Scotch whisky so special, this tour is your perfect introduction! Ideal for both beginners and the curious, this 50-min adventure takes you through the sights, sounds, and smells of Scotland’s whisky regions. Learn the magic behind maturation, blending, and what makes each regional blend unique. Then, the best part—choosing your very own local speciality to taste (or Irn Bru). With expert guides sharing insider secrets, you’ll leave with a newfound appreciation for whisky!

    A peek into a collection like no other

    The fun doesn’t stop here! You’ll also get an exclusive look at one of the world’s largest collections of Scotch whisky—think row after row of 3,384 rare and beautiful bottles. And before you go, you’ll take home a tasting glass as a souvenir (adults only, sorry kids). With tours running every 20 mins and audio guides in 20 languages, it’s an easy, family-friendly way to dive into Scotland’s national drink—without needing to memorize tasting notes!
