5.00Having been to Scotland a handful of times before, and having not done the Johnny Walker experience, my only regret is not doing it sooner! The tour was informative, innovative, engaging and dynamic. I never thought myself to be a whiskey drinker, and after the stellar tour from Zach and Minnie, I can confidently say I now not only have a deep appreciation for the beverage and it's history, but enjoy the different ways to drink whiskey in a variety of ways no matter your palate. Thank you, Zach and Minnie, for such an amazing experience and afternoon activity!
You don’t have to be a Whiskey Officianado!

5.00Neither of us are serious whiskey drinkers but this experience might change all that! A lively, fun and educational experience that really brought the history of this famous brand to life. A great mix of technology and storytelling along with sampling a dram in many different ways! Would recommend to all as a fantastic experience.
Whisky drinkers will enjoy this

5.00Wow , wow, wow , what an absolutely immersive experience . We particularly loved Rory’s storytelling skills and his wonderful and friendly personality from start to end. Not forgetting the young lady at station two who was amazing in her narration of the history of Johnny Walker. My daughter , husband and I are still talking about our experience over dinner .
Worth it!

5.00Wonderful time! Anton and Micheal were our tour guides and they were funny and helpful and really were a bright spot in our Scotland trip!
I might love Whiskey now....

5.00My friend and I booked the JWE and it did not disappoint! You do not need to love Whiskey to enjoy this experience. Our hosts were very fun (love love love the Scottish accent) and worked to ensure we were all having a blast. Your experience is informative, interactive, and it doesn't hurt that you get a couple cocktails (or mocktails) to enjoy! I was sad that the rooftop bar was by reservation only, as I did not realize that so we didn't get a chance to see the view. Just be aware if you book that you also need to reserve the roof bar. But it's such a fun way to spend an hour or so!
Definitely Worth It
