How it works
Virtually all the tastings are included in your ticket price. Just approach a distiller and politely ask for a tasting dram. We loan you the special Glencairn tasting glasses for use during the session. Please drink responsibility, have plenty of water and eat some food. Last pour is called 20 minutes before session end.
Dream Drams (Under the counter drams)
Sometimes a distiller may have brought something truly special, perhaps the very last of a superb bottling. A small charge may apply to taste such delights. This can include whiskies from much loved distilleries that are now silent.
Accommodation
Special overnight room rates from £50, enquire.
