Excellent tour - Helen was a very informative and friendly guide. The distillery is based in historic buildings but with modern equipment and a lovely new visitor’s centre and cafe. The whisky is also excellent- highly recommended tour.

Excellent tour and fascinating facts about the making of the alcohol and the gin flavourings - well worth a visit - lunch is interesting as you choose your own from a deli fridge and they cut up the bread for a picnic at the tables!

We booked a distillery tour and a table for lunch well in advance of our visit with the owner who was extremely helpful. The tour was excellently run with all social distancing arrangements carefully monitored throughout. The distillery has been completely rebuilt and is great to see older and traditional methods of whisky production now back in place. Lunch was excellent - although a reduced menu from the usual owing to the Covid-19 crisis - that said everything was freshly prepared and delicious and the cafe/coffee shop a pleasure to eat in. We were also able to take our dog who loved it too. All in all an excellent visit and exceptional facilities during the current situation. Very friendly and helpful staff.
