Honestly? It’s AMAZING!!
E1085FHjordanp, September 2026
As a complete beginner to whiskey the closest I've ever got to whiskey was jack Daniels and coke! So we went on the whiskey tour as I had so many questions to ask. Our tour guide Roy was absolutely amazing all of my questions about whiskey were pretty much covered on the tour as it was very informative! He was so kind and funny his personality is perfect for the job he does! I was that new to whiskey I thought if I buy a 12 year old whiskey and if I keep it for 12 years does it become a 24 year old whiskey! Well guys it doesn’t haha! Over all it was perfect and exactly what I wanted! I had already upgraded my tour so I got an extra whiskey a 24 year old single malt! I was driving to and from the distillery, so my partner and I got to take our samples home in little bottles we also got to keep the glass that was handed to us! I highly recommend this place if you would like to learn all about whiskey, how it’s made, the history of it all, how to drink the whiskey properly and get answers to any of your questions! Thank you guys for providing me with a great day out! I’m so glad I went as now I would like to start drinking whiskey to try and find the right one for me!

Great Overview and Free Tastings
dinm914, August 2026
Wonderful tour with an entertaining but knowledgeable tour guide, Roy. We enjoyed every minute of the tour, which was perfectly timed not to be too long or boring. We saw parts of the distillation process and got a nice overview of how things are done. We also got to taste 2 different whiskeys for free. I highly recommend!

Well worth it
amyhS2682WS, August 2026
Roy was a fantastic tour guide. Knowledgeable, funny and friendly. Given a lot of information without it being an information overload, the balance was struck just right. It was an hour and a half well spent in a small tour group.
