Highlight of our trip - My wife and I do similar tours in almost every city we visit and this was one of the best, if not, the best! Our guide was personable, knowledgeable, and engaging. We learned about whiskey but it wasn’t pretentious — after explaining that she doesn’t love straight spirits, my wife was offered ginger ale to mix with her scotch in every pub we visited. We were able to see some hidden gems that we would have never found on our own, or even been allowed into! We sampled scotch at a private members only club. We will definitely remember this experience for years to come!

Great tour & history of Glasgow and whisky - Great history tour of Glasgow and whisky. I had spent days in Glasgow before but after this tour, I was more excited about exploring and learning more about Glasgow. The guide introduced us to fun local pubs and whisky’s and gave us more to explore on our own.

Great afternoon walking in Glasgow and tasting whisky - We thoroughly enjoyed our Whisky Walking Tour in Glasgow with Neil. Neil was an excellent and knowledgable guide - both about Glasgow and whisky. He was friendly, informative and passionate about Glasgow and whisky. The three venues were well chosen, from the oldest pub to a whisky club. We had never been to Glasgow before and it was great to walk the city with a knowledgeable local. Neither of us normally drink whisky and it was great to learn the whisky distillation process, and the different tastes of whisky. We enjoyed our afternoon and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Glasgow. Raewyn and Dave

Had a great time! - I had a great time on this tour. We visited three pubs/bars and tasted three different Scotch whiskeys. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, both on Scotch itself (I believe he wrote a book on the subject) and on the history of Glasgow. Highly recommend taking the tour and then picking your favorite pub to return to afterwards.

Perfect Glasgow afternoon! - It was fabulous. Neil was a warm, friendly, knowledgeable and passionate guide who tailored the whisky choices to the tastes of our group. He answered all our questions about whisky, Glasgow history and current events generously. Neil’s approach to whiskey is accessible and not pretentious. It was lovely afternoon and we kinda want to be friends with him now ! Glasgow is a great city and Neil’s tour was a great intro to it and to Scotch! Pro tip: don’t wear a football jersey/colours on this tour; they won’t let you into the bars. This is a “must do” in Glasgow!

Knowledge, easy going a whole lot of fun - We went along to Dram Jam at the Old Toll Bar. What an amazing night! Great atmosphere with like minded people. Neill and John were really knowledgeable and passionate about whisky and local suppliers. No worries if you're not a massive whisky fan either as their alternative cocktails were amazing! Id really recommend this as a night out.

Glasgow insight and one of a kind whiskies - This was probably the most special afternoon we'll have on our trip. We learn insights into Glasgow and the people of Glasgow that we wouldn't have otherwise gained. The first pub, the oldest bar in Glasgow, was so cool that we came back later that night for a live band. We had a great time. Then, at the third bar, a private club, we had single cask malt whiskeys that you can get no other place. All in all, it was a fun, generous, and insightful afternoon. I recommend it fully. I suggest that you choose this over any other whiskey tour. Scottish Rogue has fewer five star reviews than the other companies because they've only been tours doing tours since February 2025. But don't count that against them. Enjoy their tour while you can, before they open their own place, switch to only doing group events, or some other step up in growth.

Great Introduction to Scotch Whiskey - 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.
