    Great tour, really informative and interesting, well worth the money, would take much more than the cost of the ticket to be this drunk at the end! Would highly recommend

    This was a great experience, especially for anyone old enough to remember the building's previous life as a tired and faded Department store! The property has been beautifully restored and updated throughout, with the staicase particularly impressive. Brilliant staff in all areas - welcoming, friendly and well-informed. Excellent presentations and an enjoyable tasting session afterwards. We'd booked lunch in the rooftop restaurant and it, too, was excellent.

    We had the Distillery tour with Neil as our host. He was able to really bring to live the history of whisky and the current activities of the Holyrood Distillery. It was impressive to see the distillery. We tasted different products along the way, but the real first matured whisky will be presented in October (after 4 years). Afterwards, we had 4 drinks (included in the package we chose) with great view of the impressive hill behind the distillery

    My friend and I had a wonderful time distilling our own custom bottle of gin! Gary was an enthusiastic and wonderful teacher and very passionate about the subject! He taught us lots about the distilling process, different types of gin and we learned lots of history. We had a fabulous time and would highly recommend to everyone! It was fantastic value as well! I already have plans to go back with a group of work friends!

    Our group of friends went to the gin and cheeses tasting. It was a wonderful experience. When we arrived at 56 North, the team met us with a place to sit and rest before the class began. The class was excellent! Great gins, tonic and cheese pairings. After the class we had some food and drinks. 5 stars all around; service ambiance, food and knowledgeable and kind staff!

    My friends and I attended a gin tasting experience and had the best time. Calum has a wealth of knowledge around the origins and history of gin and Boe gin itself. He was the best host and delivered the session in a fun interactive manner. An amazing range of lovely gins available, it was hard to choose a favourite! We will certainly return!

    A group of us recently did a walking whisky tour with Justine, she was fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, funny and not phased by anything including the ‘colourful locals’. We all had a great time and found her tour really engaging, with the whisky at the end a real bonus and tailored to the tour.
    I would certainly recommend this tour, even if you know about whisky you will learn something from Justine.
