This was the first distillery my two brothers and I stopped at in Scotland. It set a very high bar. They offer two tours a day, at 10am and 2pm Monday-Friday. Unfortunately for us we arrived right in the middle of these two times. Fortunately for us when we went into the office Lavigne offered to do a private tasting for us for a donation to some local charities. Lavigne sat us down in the tasting room which smelled amazing. She was incredibly personable and knowledgeable. My brothers sampled five whiskies (I as the DD received three very generous vials full of the whiskies to drink later which is standard in Scotland. Not the pour size, that was unique, but the vials of liquor to go). She answered all of our questions and gave us some great info. She easily spent thirty minutes with us. She didn't stick to a stiff script and cut a lot of the crap about tasting guidelines that some other distilleries spew out. She also gave us some great advice on other distilleries to go check out. The manager came in and joined us for a few minutes just to chat. The whole tasting felt more like a conversation than an informational session. It was a great experience and we'd all gladly come back. We ended up buying a few bottles of their whiskey which was fantastic. read more
