The whisky collection is simply mind blowing and the blender's room is epic! Very interesting venue. The tour guide was very approachable and friendly.
This is the second time I've done this tour and I have to say its one of my favourite experiences! I learnt a lot about whisky during this tour.
As a whisky drinker but in no way an expert - after this tour, I am feeling pretty confident about my whisky knowledge! Fun and entertaining!

5 things Scotch whisky beginners should know π₯ Swipe β‘οΈ
πΎ Scotch whisky is made from just three ingredients: barley, water and yeast.
π°οΈ To be called Scotch whisky, it must be matured in oak casks for a minimum of three years.
π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ The maturation process must also take place in Scotland for it to be legally recognised as Scotch whisky.
π₯ There are five recognised Scottish whisky-producing regions: the Lowlands, the Highlands, Speyside, Campbeltown and Islay. Hereβs a snapshot of the Glenfinnan Viaduct in the Highlands π
β¨ We house one of the largest collections of Scotch whisky in the world, and you can visit it on one of our whisky tours!
