Oban scotch tasting

Ralph_J, Sep 2025

Very knowledgable host with a great understanding of the scotch drink and the industry. Answered all questions in a relaxed manner & took all the time to make it a pleasant experience. We tasted scotchs that a good crosssection and were not the ones you typically see in advertisements. Much better than going to a distillery to taste. We all enjoyed it.

Great whisky tasting

Lisa_W, Sep 2025

This was a very informative and lovely whisky tasting. This tour focused on some lesser known but equally good whisky. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to provide interesting details about each whisky and answer our questions.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hi Lisa, thank you very much for your kind review, glad you enjoyed the experience. Come see us again so I can reach for the 5 stars next time! All the best, Mark
