A good taste

A lot of fun. Jess was great as our guide through the experience. Some good choices for whiskeys to sample the different regions. She was very informative about what we were drinking and also told some good stories.

Great way to taste a variety of scotch whiskies!

We got to try 4 different scotch whiskies from across Scotland, and there was plenty to go around (and even have 2nds since not everyone tried all pours). Ben was an awesome guide, walking us through the history of whisky in Scotland and how it’s intertwined with the country’s history. I thought 2 hours would be long for 4 tastes, but the tasting was well-paced. Only small ask is that they provide some snacks. But otherwise an awesome activity!

Good Scotch and History

Scotch was good but the stories and history were better.

Interesting whisky tour

I don't have an interest in whisky, I just came along because my friend really wanted to do the tour. To my surprise I ended up enjoying the tour, especially the story telling from the charismatic Koffe. I now have an understanding of the spirit of scotch whisky as well as some of the historical characters of Scottish history such as Walter Scott, deacon Brodie and burke and hare. I recommend this tour, even if you don't like whisky
