4.00All in all very interesting. Learned about the scotch making experience. I little expensive for what you get. Would probably have made out better with a whiskey tasting rather than a whiskey making experience.
Fun and informative tasting tour

5.00Knowledgeable 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.
