His commentary was engaging, full of fascinating history and trivia, and he made excellent recommendations for places to eat and shop.

The tour was more than just seeing the equipment used in the whiskey making process with informative displays along the way. The tour guides use of humor made the tour both interesting and entertaining. The tasting at the end is also well choreographed so as apply some of the knowledge gleaned from the tour. Drivers are given the opportunity to appreciate the aroma of the tasting whiskeys before pouring them into a take home pack to try later. I can highly recommend this tour.”
