   Read moreFull disclosure, we booked a 120 euro tour (for 2) which we knew would include strangers rounding out the tour group. Cam reached out in the days prior saying that no one else had booked the tour and we could either reschedule, cancel, or pay an additional 80 euros (for 2) which would also get us âhigher quality whiskey.â As that was the only day we had free, we chose the 80 euro option. The tour included four pubs walking distance to each other and one shot each (total of four shots) of whiskey, one per pub. While Cam was knowledgeable, though not natively Scottish, he wasnât as versed in the details of the history or the making as I would have thought and I found my basic knowledge of the process and history a decent match for his. The whiskeys were a decent representation of whatâs available, and the pubs were off the beaten track. For 60 euros each, itâs not a bad deal for 3 hours and four drams, but with the additional cost we could have spent a little more and had a driving tour to several local distilleries. I think that would be the best bang...
   Read moreAs part of my brothers 30th birthday trip to Glasgow, I decided to book a whiskey tour. We had been on a whiskey distillery tour in Edinburgh three years ago and both loved it, but this time I wanted to do one which included some of the local bars in the area.
We were not disappointed, our guide Camilo met us in one of the bars in the west end and from there we went on an informative and fun journey into whiskey. My brother and I thought we learned a lot from the distillery in Edinburgh but Camilo surprised us both.
We tried a great selection of whiskeys, from tried and tested greats to new and soon to be firm favorites. But most of all we had a great laugh with our guide and tour buddies. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Glasgow to get some good insight into the history of whiskey and discover a great area of Glasgow. We are both looking forward to our next trip to Glasgow and probably another west end whiskey adventure!
Thanks...
