“It was an excellent experience! We received a tremendous amount of information on how Scotch-Whiskey is produced, how it differs from Bourbon, and a full history of the development of the industry and how it changed over time (ask about the role of industrial espionage). Additionally, we met three other couples whose company we very much enjoyed; one among them was celebrating an important milestone in life and it added to the fun.”

Join local guide Neil for a friendly 2.5-hour walk through Glasgow’s whisky story. Visit three characterful pubs, taste three 25ml Scotch drams, and finish at the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. You’ll learn how to taste whisky without fuss, with plenty of city history along the way.
