James BrothersJune 13, 2015The 'tour' bit isn't much but the whisky tasting and the bar was good. Whether you get the gold experience or not - prices in the bar were reasonable
Mark BloomMay 20, 2011Definitely treat yourself to at least the Gold tour. And if you can get Tom H. as your guide, even better. So enjoyable, and a learning experience. And a discount in the shop at the end.
James FitzgeraldApril 25, 2015The tour is incredibly boring and about as informative as a quick skim of the Wikipedia article on whisky. The whiskys available are nice enough, but it's a waste of time.
Juan Gonzalo Gómez-LoperaJune 10, 2016Nice place, good offer of Scotch. Good restaurant in the basament. Try haggis.
Rachel RothMay 27, 2018No need to book ahead. I normally hate these kinds of things but was impressed by the execution and found it very informative
Melon LAugust 27, 2018If you opt for skipping the tour, you’ll have to work hard to get the attention of wait staff
Sue JPSeptember 11, 2011The gold experience is amazingly good value. I learnt lots about whisky and had 5 single malts - would definitely go again.
Timothy BurdonOctober 14, 2014Get the gold or platinum tour. Great selection at the bar. Try the octomor
Marcela ZarskeFebruary 15, 2012Great experience! You can take the gold tour for the price of the silver tour if you get the voucher at their website.

- Dave DunkerleyAugust 13, 2014Have tried it but no a particular fan of Scotch. Don't drink too much if you do visit!
steph BrownNovember 9, 2014Really friendly staff and it didn't feel like an hour tour... Made me realise I do not like whisky :)
Neil RobertsonOctober 15, 2010Make sure u take a gold tour and taste the whisky board at the end, not to mention get a discount in the shop at the end
Carol ChenFebruary 22, 2011I'm not even a big whisky fan and I enjoyed every minute of the Platinum tour. Worth every pence.
E A SJanuary 24Tasting experience was ridiculously expensive. One glass for tasting is 23£. Whiskey prices in the store are high. Unnecessarily…
Panagiotis® PolychronopoulosDecember 4, 2015Overpriced for the tour but you have to try it ... The biggest collection of whiskey ..
Francisco CostaOctober 20, 2012It was very interesting... got a glass as gift in the end of the tour
