    Stopped her to do tastings but you can't do it unless you do a tour which is 18.5 pounds each. We got two tastings at the cafe for a total of 9.5 pounds. Not necessarily the best we've tasted.

    This place is beautiful. They started distilling in 2017. I ordered the Stokehold flight of four for €19. It came with crackers, cheese, and a paste. It was absolutely phenomenal. The whiskey was delicious. The service was also on point.

    The Clydeside Distillery was such a fun experience! We came on a Sunday afternoon for the chocolate and whiskey tasting, and it was unique, informative, and delicious! We booked the tour for three people, but one of the people in our party was not able to make it at the last minute. They were so accommodating and were able to get us a tasting box to go for the third person! The tour was fun, and in February at 4:30, we were touring the distillery right at sunset which made the tour of the copper stills even more beautiful. The chocolates were delicious and it really brought a fun, new level to a traditional whiskey tasting. I personally am not a huge whiskey person, so the chocolates made it more beginner friendly for me! And my husband, who loves whiskey, thought that it was interesting to see how the whiskey interacted with the chocolate flavors. Our tour guide was Andy, and he did a fantastic job! Could not recommend enough!

    I have been on a lot of Distillery tours, but this would be on the top of my list. The chocolate and whisky pairing is excellent! It is 100% worth your money and time. David was my tour guide and he was so nice and incredibly knowledgeable and informative. The other staff at the cafe are also so nice and helpful. I had a warm welcome from the second I walked in the door. I did the distillery and whisky and chocolate pairing. The whisky was smooth and something even for those who aren't typically whisky drinkers. The chocolates were perfectly curated and some of the best chocolates I've ever had! These chocolates are specially made for this tour and are only available on this tour. I think this would be a great tour for you especially if you are new to Scotch whisky. This was a gorgeous new facility. Everything was clean and sleek in design. I believe this is a must if you are visiting Glasgow.

    It's a young distillery, but a great way to learn about scotch whisky! Especially if you're in Glasgow.

Then, we had a tasting towards the end and got to taste some really good single malts while learning how to taste them. The staff inside were super friendly. Getting to this place is a big task though, and the bigger and more difficult task is getting out of there if you have don't have your own car. We reached the spot using Uber but we couldn't find any Uber or taxi service to get out and into the city. There is a bus stop right opposite and the bus did not stop. We tried asking the security guard for some help as the staff left and no one were in there, but he kinda shooed us away. That was very rude. Then, we had to walk a lot to reach a train station.

Excellent tour that pours shame on our Jameson tour. This is a live distillery so it was fantastic to experience a functioning business and the steps and history behind the production of this mellow whiskey. My only complaint is that machines are very loud so it was difficult at times to hear our tour guide so be sure to get up close to him/her, they won't be creeped out or maybe they will be who cares you have paid for the experience. At the end of the tour we got to relax in the bar and have a whiskey, it really was a lovely end to a great week in a very cool city!

    The Edinburgh Gin Distillery has recently had a BIG glow-up! Now located at The Arches, they've…read morecontinued their passion for "blending gin with the city's rich botanical history" (this location is build upon the site of the historic Trinity Church). The new state of the art space is absolutely enormous, very modern and sleek, multi-leveled with enormous windows to let in loads of natural light (and, artistically I imagine, to allow visuals of the city to spill into the room with you), and has a lot going on. As of writing this, you can do a: 1. Classic Tour & Tasting (75 minutes, £28 per person) 2. Gin & Chocolate Pairing (90 minutes, £35 per person) 3. Mix & Muddle Cocktail Class (120 minutes, £50 per person) 4. Gin Making Experience (3 hours, £140 per person) I can't speak to any of them at this point, but whichever you choose BOOK IN ADVANCE. You can also stop by to simply pick-up a bottle at their shop or have a drink at their bar which is open to the public (in nicer weather, enjoy their rooftop terrace). I was lucky enough to be here on their opening weekend, and was allowed a private tasting (still not entirely sure how that happened). The Rhubarb & Ginger gin is lovely and well rounded, the Orange & Basil is a little too basil forward for me, the Raspberry Gin is good but I think Stirling Distillery has them beat there, all of the liqueurs are somehow fantastic, but most importantly: if it's available, you have to get the tiramisu gin. It's one of the most unique things I've ever tasted!!! This is my favorite gin in the world; we always have a bottle of Seaside on hand! I'm excited to return with my partner and have a new tour and tasting experience different from their previous cellars vibe.

    We went for the gin + chocolate tasting and the experience did not disappoint. Start to finish it…read morewas such an interactive, educational, and delicious experience. This is great for groups or even solo travellers. It's a must do when visiting or living in Edinburgh.

At the end you even get to choose between loads of different gins he's made as a wee extra. I tasted the chilli chocolate orange gin, as well as the raspberry and ginger one. They were both fab!! All the gins we tasted were Gary's, but all around the room were lots of other scottish gins on display, and Gary would answer any questions we had about them. Gary was so informative and friendly and made the whole experience so much more enjoyable, and it felt so much more personal as it was a nice small group in a small distillery that is there to provide a fun experience rather than just make money! Overall it was a fantastic experience and I would love to come back again and try the other experiences such as the one where i can make my own gin and take it away with me at the Sip Antics Gin School!! Thanks Gary, would 100% recommend.
