Awesome experience. Liam was great. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. We never felt rushed and learned much about the history and making of Scotch. Will do it again on next visit.

Whisky tour beyond compare!

Gavin’s upbeat personality and love of whisky made this tour the ultimate experience, especially for one of us who was not a whisky drinker. His knowledge was exceptional, and he tailored the tour to meet the needs of the day along with chocolate!

This was such a fun tour! My friend and I went for my birthday and couldn’t have asked for a better day. Gavin was a great storyteller and guide. We tried some of the best whiskey on earth and even stopped at a castle! Highly recommend, you won’t regret it!

Inverness Whisky Tour

The entire tour was amazing. Gavin is a true gentleman and his knowledge of whisky and the history of the area and his heritage is outstanding. This tour was by far one of the highlights of our trip to Scotland. We will most definitely do this again!!

Highland Whiskey Tour with the Tall man

David M, Oct 2019

Unforgettable day touring the highlands and distilleries with Gavin. Gavin provided helpful information on the distilleries and the whiskey's we were trying, he also gave us recommendations. A beautiful day exploring the highlands around the Inverness area and surrounds. A day of fun, good conversation and tasting some exceptional single malt whiskey's.
