Sean was an amazing host and guide. He and his colleagues, Brice and Dave, built us two whiskey flights that were phenomenal. Yum, yum, yum! And Sean was super helpful in giving us lots of recommendations for the area. We loved our time at the distillery. Next time we are in Edinburgh we will be back!!

A great tour, really interesting and quite different from thé more traditionnal distilleries. Loved to try the new make, the Embra was really unique, and ended the afternoon with a last drink in their bar. A must do if you want a take on a non-traditionnal distillery.

Henry gave a really good indepth tour, balanced perfectly for his audience. Even though I have done other distillery tours I learnt so many new things. The tour was well paced and the tasting samples were well tutored.

Truly brilliant experience. I’ve been on a few distillery tours but nothing as detailed, scientific, or entertaining as this - it really explored the distilling process and showed how experimental and adventurous this distillery is. Our guide Dave was superb. Witty and informative. The tastings were excellent and the range of drinks being created here is quite amazing. Highly recommended.

Staff really friendly and informative, they all really understand whiskey. 4 different samples to help understand the process, staff in the gift shop as well as guides really understand whiskey and its process.

Really great and informative experience. Short history of the distillery as it is quite a new one and lots of great information about how whisky is made! Bought a gift voucher for my partner for Christmas last year and didn't manage to get there within a year. Emailed to let them know, and they extended it for us. Booked the journey to whisky tour and left almost tipsy due to the amount of samples. I don't like whisky neat, but I could really taste the difference. My partner really enjoyed the experience too.

We visited today hoping for a fun and informative experience and were not disappointed. A fully rounded, fascinating and enjoyable experience. The tour guide was engaging and knowledgeable, the tour itself was well paced. The 4 whiskies we tasted were varied and excellent. I would fully recommend, you don’t have to be whisky connoisseur or expert.

Great experience Had a great time Alex was our tour guide and he did a great job. Very knowledgeable and informative. Would definitely recommend. AAA++++

Katrina_L

I didn't know what to expect when I booked the whiskey tour but our guide took us through all the steps taken and told us about the historic building where the distillery is housed and the history of beer making in Edinburgh (I had NO idea). We were able to sample various stages in the whiskey making process with her explaining how different ingredients and different barrels affect the flavour of the finished product. Unfortunately, we were travelling with carry-on and unable to transport products back to Canada.

Finn was a wealth of information. We loved learning about whiskey. I took what I learned and applied it as I sampled other whiskeys around town.
