We had a fantastic afternoon at the distillery. We weren't sure what to expect but Ellie was great and we left nice and tipsy! Couldn't recommend enough.

This was an enjoyable hour and a half in this wee distillery in the West End of Glasgow. Very small set up but our guide Ellie was really informative! Plenty of tasting with and without mixers and got to taste 2 cocktails, I would definitely advise a visit not only for locals but visitors to the city, I can recommend the pineapple and spiced rum

On a scortching day, our host Ellie treated us to an informative and educational rum tour. Glasgow and rum have a lot of history and Ellie wove the process and the history seamlessly. It was hard to believe she's comparatively new to hosting tours. She says she's not a mixologist, cocktail maker, I'd dispute that. We were served up delicious chocolate, pineapple and coffee rums, along with the regular rums. Then they were mixed into cocktails. Delicious. Wester rum is absolutely the best spiced rum going. Natural flavours. Great day out. My mates and I loved it. I have no relationships to Wester rum apart from being a fan.

Ellie said this was her second tour and she was very good! It was just a small tour there were 4 of us so it was nice and casual :) Ellie knew her stuff and answered most of our questions, the cocktails were lovely and we all enjoyed ourself, £15 per person was worth the money :) would recommend to anyone. The prices of the bottles to take home are really decent as well, we took two home!

The tour guide Ellie was very good, she told us it was her first day hosting the tours. She did really well and was able to explain the distilling process clearly and answer any questions we had. The rum tasting and cocktail class was great. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I think the location needs to be signposted because it's in the corner and wasn't immediately easy to spot but that's the only remotely negative comment I would make, I loved it.

Our tour of Wester Distillery exceeded all our expectations. A nice change from visiting a whisky distillery, Eilish was super knowledgeable and gave a brilliant tour. Really enjoyed hearing Glasgow's role in the history of rum too. Enjoyed the tastings even more; really generous and delicious drinks. A great start to our day out. Amazing value for money. Can't recommend highly enough.

If you want to spend a few hours listening about how rum is made as well as try a few samples this is a good bet. It's laid back, friendly and the the folk involved are testament to what make Glasgow a great place to live. Good luck for the future guys, I've already smashed the rum I bought yesterday!

Eilish was very knowledgeable and full of information. Great way to see how a small operation works. Still trying to work out if we can do it in the kitchen kitchen🤣. Excellent spiced rum samples. Not so keen on the white rim, but that's just personal taste. Cocktails were very tasty as well especially the old fashioned.

Absolutely fantastic. Wonderful to see a small local business and all its goings-on, Do not miss a visit if you are in Glasgow. Thanks Eilish, you were a great host...

Upon arrival we were met by the charming Aimee. A very professional and knowledgeable tour followed. Very interesting with loads of historical facts. Perfectly paced and balanced. Aimee then gave us a tasting and cocktail class. She knows her stuff and the drinks were delicious. Wester Rum has some fantastic rums available. Great fun.
