WhiskyTours & tastings
Strong value and unrivalled name recognition. The £30 Explorer Tour is an excellent first Scotch experience, and walk-ins can use the Whisky Lounge without booking. Enthusiasts can step up to the Malt Master (£75); the Milestones (£250, with lunch) is a premium day out. Pair it with Balvenie next door.
