The experience offers an intimate setting away from crowded venues, creating a relaxed atmosphere focused on storytelling and tasting.


Limited to just ten participants, the session encourages conversation and personal interaction with expert hosts who guide guests through the heritage and craftsmanship of Scotch whisky.

The tasting journey introduces a curated selection of drams, with optional upgrades available for those wishing to explore rare or premium expressions.

Alistar was a great and very entertaining storyteller and it was a pleasure to listen to him talk about Scottish history over 4 delicious whiskeys.

We had an amazing whisky tasting experience with Ben. There were five other people in the group, and we had a wonderful interaction, sharing our thoughts about whisky and spirits from around the world. Ben shared a lot of history with us, along with Scottish folklore. We definitely recommend a whisky tour — you’ll be visiting the source!
