Surprising

I didn’t realize that this was literally in the goal. And the history of the whisky and the detail taken with both the spirit and packaging, as well as the tour was amazing. We have done lots of distilleries but this experience was a true notch above.

McConnell's fantastic tour

Walked into the distillery and booked my tour on site. Sam's tour was great. So much in-depth info about the brand, process and history of McConnell's. Lengthy discussions of experiences from us both and overall a great experience I highly recommend for anyone no matter what your experience with whisky. A true money's worth experience.

Aug 2026 Experience :)

Amazing experience!! You don’t have to be a whiskey drinker for this at all, they accommodate for none drinkers! Tour was fascinating with the history of the building, locals, the craftsmanship thoroughly thought through and our guide was impeccable!! The taste testing at the end was very enjoyable (I’m not a whiskey drinker but gave it a go and it was lovely) and then had a cocktail in the bar upstairs. Very enjoyable experience would highly recommend going here!
