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 had an amazing time on a pub crawl in Edinburgh, Scotland, where the city’s vibrant atmosphere and historic appeal blended seamlessly. Every place we stopped at was unique, ranging from snug, old-fashioned pubs boasting crackling fireplaces and flavorful ales to lively bars humming with music and cheer. The crawl was a fantastic opportunity to connect with people from different corners of the globe, swap stories, and bask in the welcoming Scottish spirit. Meandering through the Old Town’s cobblestone streets between pubs gave the night a magical feel, like a fusion of history, culture, and festivity. It was the ideal combination of fantastic drinks, great company, and Edinburgh’s unforgettable personality.

It was February of 2024. Believe it or not, we were waiting for a restaurant reservation so we strolled along the area. That's when we walked past Lind & Lime Distillery. They treated us to a small shot of their gin and we bacame obsessed. Bought two bottles then and there and finished them in a few weeks. We've been wanting to schedule a proper tour of the place, and so we were so excited to see it being offered on Klook.

Delicious. however, recommend to have a reservation on their link so you won’t need to wait for seat as even on weekday it seems to be quite packed.

The food is nice. And 1 whisky And 2 gins were served for testing with a paper of introduction. Expect there's some guidance to explain the distillation process. Overall, self service. No introduction.

Went on the 3D2N Isle of Skye, Scottish Highlands and Loch Ness Tour with the boys. Our amazing and witty tour guide, Neil, truly gave us an unforgettable experience with his active engagement and storytelling with stunning visuals. Although the sun set early during winter and the weather wasn’t in our favor, we managed to cover most of our itinerary with Neil’s strategic planning. Strongly recommend Timberbush Tours if it’s your first time in Scotland.
