Very insightful - Very enjoyable tour. The guide was very informative and enthusiastic and clearly loved his job. I loved the whiskey I sampled and the beer sold at the bar is excellent as well.

Highly recommended - An interesting concept worth visiting for any whiskey/beer enthisiast. Another pluss is that it's in the middle of Inverness, for those who don't like being bussed around on tour busses. Knowledgeable staff, cosy atmosphere in the bar 🍺🥃👍

Really great brewery & distillery tour - Great tour, Ali showing us round was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, I own a guest house near by and was with a manager from the hotel across the road from me. We wanted to be able to then explain to our guests how good the distillery tour was .. will be highly recommending it

Modern new whisky makers - Small new distillery under the smoke of Inverness with perfectly finished plant and ready for the future with quality young whiskies

meagre and much too expensive - Friendly, learn a lot about the story. Supposedly, questions could be asked in detail after each part of the tour, but when many questions were still open in my view at the end of the tour, the guide said goodbye and we were left to our own devices with a blend, a pretty good ale and a small glass of water. What we learn about the new whisky suggests that it will probably only become a more mediocre whisky later.

Very Disappointing a waste of Tine and Money - Do not waste your money on this tour, information on the distilling and brewing process was decidedly lacking. I’ve done a lot of tours and have never heard so much waffle. No facility for drivers dram, 1/3 of a pint and a small dram does not reflect the £35 price tag. Emailed twice to complain and did not get a reply, clearly not interested in customer satisfaction

Not great. - The tour was ok and it was interesting learning about the production of beer and whiskey. Although it was difficult to tell if he was talking about brewing or distilling at times. He was quite knowledgeable though but kept looking at his watch as though he couldn’t wait for it to be over. He wasn’t overly keen on answering questions either which was a shame. I don’t think the ‘tour’ lasted more than an hour and then it was time for the very disappointing tasting. There was a tiny glass of beer and a very tiny glass of whisky. Considering I had paid 3x £35 it felt like a rip off. The whisky was bought in blended and not their own which wasn’t great but I can understand that whisky has to mature but maybe they should make this clear when booking. Only one beer to taste and about a quarter of a pint. We wondered why we couldn’t taste the other beers they brew. It was very odd and the tour guy couldn’t wait to dash off and we were left to feel very deflated. Altogether very disappointing considering the price for what should have been an amazing experience from a new business. An expensive mistake which I wouldn’t recommend.
