    I signed up for this experience to gain knowledge of whisky. I was curious how this drink was revered by a swell of enthusiasts worldwide. Chris was a very open-minded and generous tutor. He shared his knowledge of whisky from its base material and the interplay of the factors that make the drink cater to different type of drinkers.

    Husband wanted to do a whisky tasting, I don't really like it but Chris still made it fun and interesting and I even liked a couple of them (husband finished them off though!). I would highly recommend even if you are not a huge whisky fan, plus the bar upstairs is amazing and I got a nice wine afterwards.

    We had such a fantastic tasting with Chris, he really knows what he is talking about and made us whisky newbies feel at ease. The whiskies were really nice as well and some unique drams like grain which we had never tried before.

    The guide was very good and informative but whisky just not my thing. We are glad we did this but also glad we did the less expensive one.

    Fantastic and impressive tasting. Whiskies were not just the usual ones you see on any shelf and the history element of drink in Scotland was really interesting.
