This was such a great experience! The history, the guidance, as well as the tasting were all very generous for a tour that was reasonably proceed. My group even got to have a tasting with the owner Keith, who's such a down-to-earth guy. The whisky goes from lil spice to high spice, and it was very tasty. I am not a drinker, and this was not heavy and there was no hangover from the tasting.... what you do outside the tasting may be a different story. :) Loved this entire experience and I cannot wait to order directly from the distillery.
