We so enjoyed our two days of touring - both the Northeast Highlands and Speyside. Liam was a stellar guide. We can't say enough about his knowledge, kindness and sense of humour - but also, his ability to listen and adapt plans to accommodate our interests and tastes. What a treat to be able to just relax, enjoy and not drive! Those two day will never be forgotten - such interesting conversations, wonderful food and the whisky...ohhhhhh.. the whisky!! Thank you so much for taking care of us!”

“Absolutely amazing tour, Liam our tour guide was super clear, easy and helpful, explaining different and answering our endless questions, and felt to us one of the guys. Not only I recommend but I am certain, if I am back to the Highlands, I will be doing the tour again.”

“Liam was a fantastic guide with a wealth of knowledge. Made for a great day experiencing Speyside Whisky with the ability to pick specific distilleries to visit. Highly Recommend if you want to learn about the Whisky and enjoy the area.”

“In a word, our experience was "EXCELLENT"! Liam was our tour director, guide, driver and expert in everything about Scotch whisky. Knowledgeable, friendly, funny, safe and accommodating, Liam took us through some amazing countryside often along quiet local roads to distilleries that offered a wide range of whisky choices. He helped us understand what might be expected from each tasting. I highly recommend booking a tour. Thank you Liam!!!”

“Wonderful tour. Enjoyed 2 days trip to Highland and Speyside hosted by Liam, knowledgeable on whisky and friendly. As a new comer to Whisky, I have enjoyed tour in Balblair, Glenlivet and Speyside Cooperage, as well as tasting in Glenmorangie, Glen Ord, Aberlour and Tomatin. Have bought some rare bottles in his recommended shops, as well as tasted some secret bottles in the trunk. Have learnt much on Whisky and will definitely visit and join their tour again.”

“Liam was a wonderful tour guide from start to finish. We spent roughly 9 hours with him and every part was knowledge, fun, and memorable. His knowledge of whisky was matched by his knowledge of Scotland, and specifically the areas we were exploring. His passion for this was very clear and made our time with him extremely memorable. I can’t recommend this tour enough if you are a whisky lover!”

“Liam was an excellent guide. He had a great knowledge of whisky. He knew the different distilleries really well. One of the parts were the tailgate whisky tastings to expand our understanding of different whisky areas. Highly recommend this tour”

“Liam was amazing His knowledge of whiskey was outstanding Recommended lunch on a train that was incredible Really enjoyed the day”

— Margaret

“We spent a wonderful day with Liam who on our way to the first distillery educated us on how whisky in Scotland is made. That was very helpful to understand what we were about to taste on the tour. We also squeezed in a Gin distillery. The lunch stop at the Sidings café was very unique and great food. Being able to taste the different whisky’s right from the source was awesome. Liam’s enthusiasm and knowledge of not only whisky but of the area and Scotland truly made our day and will not soon be forgotten! I would highly recommend this tour”

— Greg

“We toured various distilleries, Glen Moray, Benriach, Aberlour, Glenallachie, and Cardhu as well as having lunch at a great small pub! The pub had a wide selection of whiskies. Liam gave my husband and myself a wonderful day touring Speyside area of Scotland!”

— Kate

“Liam’s knowledge of Whisky, the distilleries and local areas we passed through was fantastic. Massive thanks for an easy day drinking the finest whisky.”

— Dale

“This review is long overdue... Our experience was simply AWESOME! Liam was early and met us at the train station with samples of some of the best Scotch whisky from the Highland and Speyside areas. What a way to start the day! Liam was so knowledgeable and patient. He was the perfect guide and took us to some of the best distilleries around. By the end of the day, Liam was a 'brother from another mother' and part of the crew. We enjoyed our experience so much, we were able to arrange a second day with Liam. He helped us explore Scottish historical sites and breath-taking views of the countryside. I am currently working on a plan to go back in the fall of 2024 and will make arrangements to use this service and see Liam again. I would strongly recommend this service to everyone!”

— Robert B

“Liam is the best!! Had the best time and got to sample plenty of whisky! Liam is very knowledgeable about the distilleries and the area. It was better than I could have ever imagined! This is perfect for a beginner whisky drinker or a seasoned drammer!”

— Eric

“We had the BEST day doing the whisky tour with Liam. Liam was engaging and knowledgeable about all things whisky. The two of us didn’t go in knowing a whole lot about Scottish whisky, but the combination of the Balblair distillery tour and Liam’s explanations taught us a ton! The tastings (and pairings) from the collection were fantastic, and gave us a chance to try a variety of different whisky types (including some really interesting stuff, like an IPA cask aged whisky and a Sauternes cask aged whisky). Truly a perfect day - can’t recommend the tour (with Liam!!) more.”

— Kate S

“This tour is an absolute must if you’re in the area! My wife and I were on our honeymoon and booked this for the two of us and we absolutely loved it! We had the best time with our tour guide Liam who joined us while we had our tastings and was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about whisky and the history of the area! We also got to taste a few additional local whiskies out of the boot with a traditional quaich. Please don’t hesitate to book this, you won’t regret it!”

— Michael

“Four of us took the private tour with Liam who was a gracious host and generous in sharing his knowledge and many fine samples of excellent single malts. We visited several distilleries and whisky shops. Although I had taken several distillery tours in the past, my son had not. The private tour and tasting at Balblair, where Liam had once worked, was excellent, informative and thoroughly enjoyable. I have come home with a wonderful 15-Year old scotch and memories of a fine day spent in the Scottish highlands.”

— Bob

“On June 19, 2024, 4 of us travelled with Liam for an unforgettable tour and experience. We were picked up promptly at our cruise ship at 9:00 a.m. Liam was extremely knowledgeable about scotch whisky and passionate about his country. He had a great relationship with the proprietors at each of our stops which greatly added to the experience. Liam carefully explained each of the scotches that we tasted and the pairings with chocolate at the Millionaire's Viewpoint was the icing on the cake. I would highly recommend this to anybody, regardless of their experience with the beverage. Thank you!!!”
