Very interesting tour in a beautiful setting

I went on this tour with my partner Luke who is a big whiskey fan. I am not much of a whiskey drinker but we had a great guide who made learning about the distillation process really interesting. The tasters were great, I was particularly surprised by the vodka- single malt really does make a huge difference. The setting is beautiful too, really peaceful- if you have time grab a drink and relax in one of the chairs outside overlooking the valley.

The staff and tour was amazing, they went above any expectations we had on this tour. Their products are top shelf. Wish this place was closer to home in Australia.
