About this tour
Taste your way through Hebridean spirits across 90 minutes, sampling the region's whisky and gin production. You'll work through several drams in proper Glencairn glasses, learning what distinguishes island distilleries from mainland peers. Optional nibbles and food pairings help cut through the alcohol and sharpen your palate between samples. Ideal for deciding which bottle genuinely deserves shelf space at home rather than gathering dust.

What to expect
You'll spend 90 minutes working through several regional spirits, pouring 25ml measures into proper tasting glasses. The guide walks you through nose, palate and finish for each dram, explaining what makes Hebridean production distinct—peat levels, water sources, cask types, that sort of thing. If you've ordered food pairings, nibbles arrive between tastings to cleanse your palate and prevent alcohol fatigue. This isn't a hard sell; the focus is helping you understand your own preferences so you leave knowing which bottle actually speaks to you.
Good to know
Bring water and eat something beforehand. Service animals welcome. You'll need to arrange a venue or confirm one with the operator. Public transport runs nearby if you're not driving. The 25ml pours are standard tasting measures, not full servings.
