Wonderful little experience. We had some spare time and stumbled on this through Google Maps. £20 gets you a distillery tour, a tasting fight and a dram glass to take home, plus 5% off anything you buy. Delicious local whisky. Melissa was a lovely tour guide, very knowledgeable. Stay for a few in the bar as well, the hot toddy is excellent!
Excellent facility, really smart and clean. Loved the tour and the whiskies we tried were all superb. Melissa was a great guide and made for an enjoyable experience.
Many thanks for your lovely comments.
Proper tour with the perfect amount of history. Tourguide Ross was lovely.
We are glad you enjoyed the tour and that we have got the balance right between the history of the building and the beautiful whisky we make.
Great tour of the distillery for an hour so not too much info overload.group of 20 people just right for this experience. Great price with a few tasters too. Kieron the guide was great as well.

Tour guide Ross was excellent! The hour tour absolutely flew by. He was super knowledgeable about whisky, this history and the location. Made for an excellent tour
Very welcoming staff, lovely reception bar area with excellent range of whiskies and whiskey cocktails and snacks to choose from to get you in great ‘spirits’ lol! The tour guide ‘Cieran’ was lovely, professional, knowledgeable and couldn’t be more helpful and was very patient in answering any questions. The start of the tour with the large screen and video was good and helped give context. The tasting session was better than any other tour I had been on as you were all sat round a huge elegant table that made the atmosphere like you could be a large Scottish castle (just minus the open fire), the children were offered a soft drink so that made them feel included. The only reason I didn’t give this tour 5 stars was due to the tour feeling very short, compared to all the other distilleries we’ve visited in Scotland this is tiny so there didn’t feel like much to see. We didn’t see the whiskey in the barrels being stored as they have to store elsewhere. Maybe adding some walking around site so you can see how it has actually changed and what remains? Overall would highly recommend.
