This was my favourite distillery of our Islay visit. The setting is spectacular: I booked a simple tasting rather than a tour and sat on the balcony. Overlooking the Sound of Jura sipping some single cask Bunnahabhain drams is one of my fondest memories of the trip.

The distillery is about 10 minutes past Ardnahoe Distillery and definitely worth the trip to visit both! The views from the distillery are absolutely gorgeous. Note the roads are pretty rough getting there so it takes a little longer to get there than gps suggests. The girl at the tasting room was super friendly and gave great recomendations on their whiskies. She told us she always wanted to try Malört so I was sad I didn't bring any! If she ever comes to Chicago make sure to go to Nisei Lounge for the different flavors :)

Small distillery in a very remote bu scenic location. We did the tour and Katie (?) was very nice and funny and informal, although informative. The tour was quite traditional. The visitor centre, whisky bar and shop is very, very small. Only 2 whiskies to try and no choice. After the tour, we had a long informal chat at the bar with a male staff who was very knowledgeable and eager to tell us more about the distillery and some of its history and processes.

I got an excellent tour through the facility by Kyle, who took great care to answer all my questions, but I have to admit that this visit jumped to another level when I paired the tour with a vault tasting experience. Mark the Viking sat me down and poured some earth-shattering drams which spanned recent history from bottles priced beyond the £1,000 range. We spoke for hours, giving each empty vessel time to dry out to smell how the flavor in the glass had changed. The plant is stunning, the people are great, and the taste is one of a kind.

Really an amazing experience, the best of 10 distilleries that I went in Scotland. The WH9 ex canasta cask was incredible and their shop beautiful! The best Distillery.
