As soon as we walked through the door we were greeted with a friendly smile. The tour with Dave was very enjoyable. As for the tasting, my group gave it a thumbs up. Would we recommend it- definitely.

We had a great tour with Dan. It is so interesting seeing and hearing about the whole process. I would recommend this tour for the novice whiskey drinker. Cheers!!
All round great tour, although maybe not for whisky traditionalists

Knowledgeable and engaging host for the tour, variety to the samples provided during it, and a nice environment. Interesting difference to more traditional/longstanding distilleries, not so bound up in history. Also helpful and friendly staff in the shop. Something like being able to keep your glass or having a miniature thrown in to take away would have been the icing on the cake, but very enjoyable experience.
Great tour!

We were disappointed to have only tried one kind of whiskey, and it was peaty one which we don't really like. We would have liked to taste the newly released whiskey which wasn't made available - as a result, we didn't buy any which was also disappointing.
