Truly Excellent Tour - Simon was a clever, fun, and informative guide! I'm not a big Scotch drinker but their products and partners are excellent. You can tell that the owners and staff are really invested in creating the best drinks/experiences they can.

Definitely worth a visit! - The reception at the distillery was super friendly and relaxed. The staff member who did the tour (I think her name was Eve) was also really friendly and her manner was very relaxed. Walking through the distillery from top to bottom was funny and the whole topic was really interesting. The highlight was of course the tasting with delicious samples. Thumbs up!

Very informative tour of a modern distillery - Excellent tour. Very informative and innovative for this start-up that is changing the codes of traditional distilling while being modern. The scotch whisky is not yet available because it is in the process of being made... start-up to follow
