Speyside Whisky Experience

Summary: Gus (Angus) was an incredibly knowledgeable about Scottish history and made us interested in it too, going out of his way to show us ancient ruins from 4000 years ago, finding hairy cows for us to stop and see, and picturesque roads and views only locals would know. He had a wealth of knowledge about the different parts of Scotland, their various cultures and history as well as personal lineage information that brought the experience to life for us. Gus waited patiently when I was a few minutes late and dropped us off at the correct distillery entrance ensuring we made it on time. Gus was pleasant and friendly the entire time (while wearing the traditional Scottish attire too!) and treated us like we were old friends rather than customers. I feel so much more well versed in Scottish history, whisky and culture having been on his tour.

Summary: I really didn't know what to expect when my friend, Tony had informed me that the five of us would be doing a Speyside Whiskey distillery tour in Inverness, Scotland instead of a bachelor's party for his brother. It turned out to be one of the the best experiences of my life. I had learned so much about "Scotch" on the tour which I always wanted to learn but never had the chance; the extensive history of "Scotch", the involved process of how "Scotch" is made and how to taste "Scotch that you enjoy. Regan the tour guide was amazing, always there when we needed him, answered our questions in very timely manner, anticipated our every wish. Regan symbolized the true meaning of customer service with a smile and always went up and beyond when it came to the people on his tour.

Summary: 7 distilleries in 2 days, made the impossible happen. Very happy about our experience with Regan who showed great initiative and found us a distillery where we reserved a cask. We even squeezed in visits to the Speyside cooperage and Loch Ness. Got great recommendations for evening activities including restaurants, music venues, bars
