    I knew next to nothing about Scotch whiskey before this tour and it turned out to be a very good intro. The presentation was interesting. We learned about the types of whiskey produced in different regions of Scotland. Then we had a choice of tasting whiskey from one of the regions at the end of the tour. Definitely a good way to learn about Scotch Whiskey!
