      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.

      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.
