I was give a present of a "Masterclass" of tasting a blending. All the distillery staff went out of their way to make this an absolute experience, especially Arthur, who guided me throughout the day. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a dram.

This is a nice distillery to visit. The people our kindly helping you with any question you got. You permitted to take pictures about anywhere in the distillery. We did some quit expensive tours. The chocolate and cask tasting. This didn't add enough extra as we had to pay 70 pounds for it. The whiskies we got to taste were... More

We took a "century tour" & felt it was well worth the cost. We got to taste a hundred years of scotch ( a 10 yr, 40 yr & a 50 yr finished in a Spanish sherry cask). Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about every aspect of the distillation process. The actual stills are almost like works of art.... More

Maybe 45 minutes outside Glasgow, this is a nice drive and an easy afternoon. The tour is only about 30 minutes long, but there's also a whisky tasting you can linger over. Very interesting to see the process and see the detail and exacting patience that goes into making true single-malt whiskey.

I used to live 10 miles down the road from this distillery; before I knew anything about whisky. I never visited. Our Whiksy Tour this year included a trip to Glengoyne and I am really glad I went. Professionally run, this tour was popular (18 of us) including all nationalities. Glengoyne is situated at the foot of the Campsie Fells,... More

We decided to go for a tour a the distillery and booked the master blander tour. The tour guide was very friendly and helpful and also very knowledgeable. We tried many different whiskies which were beautiful and it was great to see the process of distilling. Towards the end we went into a separate area away from other tour groups,... More

I took the tour where we get to taste 10 yr and 18 yr old scotch and it was totally worth! The lady who explained the entire process of making scotch was very good at her job. She had answers to all our questions and we came out with lot of information. The scotch they give us for tasting is... More

A short (and scenic) distance from glasgow centre this old and beautiful distillery is a must to visit whether you like or dislike whiskey. I recommend the tasting tour (£20). The guide (a young lady called Bill?) excellent - apart from the jokes! A bonus if you are a walker - lovely area
