The experience was great. There was only myself and my husband on our tour. We got to take our drinks from the bar on the tour which was great! The first section of the tour was a bit strange. But it picked up in the second and third rooms. The tasting at the end was lovely! Trying various whiskeys and discussing their taste. Good experience!
