This was really a gem of an experience. Eoin brings a lot of experience and knowledge, but keeps it entertaining too, which is exactly what we were looking for. His tour is a rare find, I couldn’t recommend it more. Both for whisky enthusiasts or folk wanting to experience Glasgow the right way!

A great evening of local history, industry anecdotes and tasty drinks. Owen was a funny and friendly guide to Glasgow's beautiful West end

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I booked it for my brother visiting, who is a seasoned whisky drinker, unlike myself. We both had a fantastic time. The tour was really interesting and educational, the guide was very funny, he put everyone at ease and delivered it all seamlessly. Would definitely book it again for visitors and even enjoy a wee whisky myself now.

Eoin is super friendly and can answer all your geekiest questions on whisky. The tour takes you through Kelvingrove park which is lovely, and you get to hear a bit about Glasgow as well. I live in Glasgow and wanted to learn a bit more about whisky but I reckon this tour would be perfect for tourists too.

Such a fun way to learn about whiskey and the history of Glasgow! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very charming. And the whiskey itself is simply delicious! Would definitely recommend!

Was traveling through Glasgow with a friend and decided to try something new and safe to say it was incredible. Eoin is the best, both funny and charming and made us feel super comfortable even though are knowledge was at best limited next to his vast knwledge of everything Whiskey!! Loved the getting to know the west end of Glasgow a little better too! I really recommend the tour.

Eoin managed to make a seemingly boring subject actually quite interesting. I went on this tour a bit against my will - I went with whisky nerd friends - but I am glad that I did. I'm not really interested in whisky but there is more to it than I had imagined. Highly recommend even if whisky isn't your thing.

I had so much fun on my whisky tour :)
Eoin, my guide, was super personable and friendly and catered well to our amateur whisky knowledge. It was nice to experience the Glasgow whisky scene through the eyes of someone as passionate as Eoin. His charisma and knowledge truly made for an unforgettable experience.
I enjoyed the scenic wander between the different pubs and I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for an informative but enjoyable afternoon learning more about whisky and Glasgow 🥃

Great whisky tour, really enjoyed it. Our guide was brilliant. Very welcoming and knowledgeable of Scottish whisky history. The whiskies themselves were excellent and it was interesting learning about production, tasting and how different styles affect the final product. The mix of bars and the walk through the West End was great. Would highly recommend!

The tour was great and we had some fantastic whiskies. Really friendly and informative. Thanks Eoin!

Eoin was brilliant and make the whole experience really interesting! Highly recommend!
The whisky was fantastic and learning more about it makes it even better. Easy for beginners wanting to learn more, Eoin made it really at accessible to folk that are not normally 'into' whisky like my partner. We had a great time!!!

My mom and I booked this tour when she was visiting me in Glasgow - despite neither of us really knowing anything about whisky. We were BLOWN. AWAY. Our guide Eoin was welcoming, funny, and insanely knowledgeable. He told us about the history, process, and meaning behind whisky - and made it feel like something anyone could get into.
The walk took us through some of the most beautiful parts of Glasgow, and of course, we always ended up at a great pub. Will be bringing all my visitors to this tour in the future.

We did this as a group of 8 and had a really good time. The whisky selection was excellent, with four very different drams and enough explanation around them to make it interesting whether you know a lot about whisky or not.
Our group had pretty mixed levels of knowledge and interest in whisky, from people who have done tastings before to people who just enjoy the occasional dram, but we all came away very satisfied.
Our guide Eoin was great. Friendly, interesting and clearly knows his stuff, but never in a way that felt inaccessible or like he was trying too hard to impress or just parroting facts. He seems genuinely interested in the history and lore around whisky and the various distilleries and processes as much as the flavour profiles, which made it feel much more engaging than some tastings I’ve done before.
The walk between venues broke things up nicely and gave the whole thing a good pace. The pubs themselves were all worth visiting in their own right, not just somewhere to sit and drink whisky.
My surprise favourite was the Meikle Tòir Chinquapin. I’d never even heard of it before, but it was lovely, sweet and smoky in a way that really worked.
I’ve done whisky tastings, distillery tours and brewery visits before and this is definitely a cut above. It had real depth without ever feeling pretentious or inaccessible.
10/10. Also worth mentioning that Eoin gave us several excellent food recommendations afterwards, which finished the evening off perfectly. Also recommending restaurants and bars in Edinburgh where we are heading next which I am looking forward to trying. I have not previously liked real ale but am going to try some in a place he recommended in Edinburgh as all of his other recommendations have paid off. Would absolutely recommend booking this if you’re in Glasgow.

A lovely tour of a few bars in the west of Glasgow city. Connected by a park. Great craic and cracking drams throughout.......😁
James_M, May 2026
Great tour. Knowledgeable and entertaining host. Brilliant selection of whiskeys with quite a few I'd never tried. The Ben Nevis was the meeting place and its an impressive collection they have there before the tour even started. Would definitely recommend this to anyone from Glasgow or elsewhere.

Eoin is a brilliant guide! Extremely knowledgeable, friendly and great fun. We learned loads on the day and it was a fantastic experience. Highly recommended

Glasgow for a day trip. Owen was VERY knowledgeable, friendly plus a great tour guide! Our group very much enjoyed the tasting experience and Owen was very hospitable. Highly recommend!
Nancy_S, Sep 2025
We had a terrific time. We learned a lot about whisky from our very knowledgeable and personable guide. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in learning more and tasting some very fine whisky.

I took my husband on this tour for his birthday, and it was an incredible experience for both of us. He is Scottish and knows quite a bit about whisky, while I had no idea, but we still enjoyed it immensely.
Eoin is an excellent guide; he makes the whole group feel comfortable from the start and creates a very pleasant and fun atmosphere (although I suppose the whisky helps too 😄). Additionally, he speaks Spanish quite well, and although the tour was in English, he took the time to explain some things to me in Spanish.
I totally recommend it!
