Very interesting tour of a very new distillery located on the Clyde River. Our tour guide, Julia, was very knowledgable and made the experience very fun. Three tastings included in the tour and also offered tastings of other whiskies on sale in the shop. Highly recommend trying the limited edition as well as the one in the sherry cask.

Good experience in a 1 hour compact tour to a modern distillery, which we managed to fit into a one day trip to Glasgow along with two other attractions we wanted to see. Matthew was a friendly and professional host and we learnt about the background and history of whisky making - along with the all important tasting element at the end!
