Wonderful, informative tour of the only central distillery in Edinburgh. Good vibe and the guide was very inclusive.

Great tour, really enjoyable experience! Loved learning about the whiskey making process, and of course tasting the final product. Would recommend this tour, great value for money. Shout out to our funny (and punny) tour guide Stuart who made the tour so fun!

Had a fab tour of the distillery with lots of tasters and friendly staff! Got to try both gin and whisky made on site, and understand the processes behind both.

A young distillery, experimenting with new flavors, malts and processes. Our guide (Paul) was funny, passionate and knowledgeable. We tasted the product at different stages of the process and learnt a lot about whiskey. The store has a remarkable variety of gins and of the liquors associated with whiskey, beside their star product. Highly recommended if you have any interest at all in whiskey and alcoholic beverages.

Our guide, Neil, was very kind to us and seems to have loads of knowledge about whisky history! We’ve had a great time with him!

Our tourguide Neil was amazing. Lots of information about both whisky and gin and a very good sense of humor. Loved it. Good generous tasting of different gins and whisky’s.

The distillery was easy to find and we received a warm welcome as soon as we arrived. There is a small but well stocker bar upstairs if you arrive a bit early like we did. Fin was an excellent tour guide and we learned many interesting facts about the distilling process and what makes Holyrood distillery so unique. The samples handed out were generous and all very different flavours with their own story. All staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the facilities were spotlessly clean. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone whether they are a whisky expert or a complete newbie. It was a great way to spend our evening in Edinburgh.

Neil was a fantastic guide, very passionate and very knowledgeable and made the tour very enjoyable. We did the gin and whisky tour and it was worth every penny, well worth a visit if you’re in Edinburgh. The bar did a lovely flight of both gins and whisky’s afterwords and as a couple who likes only gin (me) and only whisky (him) it was well suited and incredibly well priced at £20 a flight. Will be recommending to anyone we can.
