Whiskey and History Tour

Bobbie_K, Oct 2023

Aseem our driver was terrific! He was friendly, knowledgable, professional, and has a good sense of humor. He was a little early picking us up, but no pressure rushing us. We were pleased to get a little early start on our trip. He’s an expert on Scottish history, which was great because I too love history, especially English and Scottish history and he was able to tell me things I didn’t know, so that was awesome and just what I hoped for! Since it was raining, we customized our trip and did a few short side trips, to spend less time at Drummond Garden, since it was all outdoors. My son, his girlfriend, and husband really enjoyed the whiskey tours. I don’t imbibe, so I was able to take my tasting samples to go, for their later consumption. The distilleries were very accommodating about that. The vehicle we were in was very comfortable for me (I have a bad back) which was a relief. I highly recommend this tour-well worth it if you can afford the upgrade! Maybe you’ll even be lucky enough to get Waseem!

Aye, that review warmed my bones like a good dram on a chilly day! Hearing I unearthed some history nuggets for you, a fellow enthusiast, was pure pleasure. Adapting the tour on the fly, rain or shine, is all part of the adventure, and seeing your happy faces made it a top-notch day for me too. Those wee drams at the distilleries, now that's a true taste of Scotland! And I'm glad the comfy van kept your back happy – wouldn't have it any other way. It's been a privilege showing you around, and if the Highlands ever call again, you know where to find me! Until then, happy travels and cheers to good memories! Waseem

Our group loved the tour. Stirling Castle, Glenturet Distillery, Drummond Castle Gardens all offered something for everyone in our group. And the gin tasting at Perth Distillery was the perfect cap to our day. Kudos to Waseem and Thomas for sharing their wealth of knowledge.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Cheers to a happy group! Stirling Castle, Glenturret, Drummond Castle – sounds like you hit the Highland jackpot! And that Gin finale at Perth Distillery, well, that's how you put a tartan bow on a perfect day. Waseem and Thomas here chuffed to bits that you all found something to love. Sharing our wee corner of Scotland is a joy, and seeing your group's faces light up with every discovery – that's the magic, isn't it? So glad you enjoyed the journey, and if your travels ever lead you back to Scotland, drop us a line. We'd love to craft another adventure for you!
