Great experience for my friend and lovely people with passion. Must have experience in Edinburgh, Scotland
the tour started on time and gave a very good background of whisky. it ended with a short but sweet taste of a whisky of your choice. would recommend for whisky lovers— though it may leave you wanting to try more of the whisky kinds.
It was a very insightful tour. The visuals and explanations are engaging and you get to learn about the different types of whisky produced here.
It was a really cool experience, and I was very satisfied. The guide's translator worked excellently and was a lot of fun with the immersive experience!
It was a wonderful experience that engaged all five senses! If you speak English, you'll hear live narration from the guide. If you prefer another language, you'll be given an audio guide. The timing and content of the audio guide perfectly matched what the English-speaking guide said. Some reviews mentioned it felt like a ride, but that wasn't the case. The guide led us through various rooms, where we learned about the history, production methods, and characteristics of whiskey at each step. With visual and olfactory experiences, and a final tasting, it was a truly enriching tour that fully utilized all five senses. For the tasting, you choose one of five types (or a non-alcoholic option). There are also small souvenirs, so if you have a small bag, I recommend bringing an eco-bag.
Superb. We got to see a guided animation on scotch whisky production, followed with a tasting session on selected distinct whiskeys from each unique region. We also got to keep the special tasting glass.
I was lucky the group is really small just 5 of us. The tour share information about how whiskey is made through video presentation. However, we were not given sufficient time to check the whiskey gallery and they chased us out already saying the next group will come. This is really disappointing. I didn’t pay to just watch 4 videos, drink a cup on whiskey and out to the retail. it’s so rush at the end. I thought we can slowly enjoy the whiskey in our hand and check out the collection.
The overall audio-visual equipment was excellent. Our group had a female guide from New York who was very enthusiastic and gave a great explanation. I absolutely loved the whiskey lounge at the end!
There was an audio guide in Japanese, and the content was very easy to understand! I enjoyed listening to everything from basic whiskey knowledge to explanations about Scotch whiskey. Tasting was also provided, and the room was filled with whiskey, so it was a very satisfying tour!
Autumn was an amazing guide! The experience exceeds expectations understanding the different aromatics of the regions in Scotland. However, we could only choose to taste whisky from 1 region. It would’ve been perfect if we can try from all 5 regions.
