Full description

Discover the Dockside Story and soak in the history of the Old Pumphouse and the historic area of the Queen's Dock in the self-guided area at the start of the tour. Learn about the birth of the whisky industry and Glasgow’s history, featuring live footage and animation bringing the story to life. Next, your expert guide will take you through several areas of production at the distillery. See the craftsmen produce the high quality, New Make Spirit, currently maturing to become The Clydeside Single Malt Whisky.

Your guide will provide all the detail in the production process at the distillery, including malting, mashing, fermentation, and distillation. Marvel in the picturesque Still House with the copper wash and spirit still, admiring the view down the River Clyde. Head into the tasting room where you'll experience the development of the Clydeside spirit, starting with the distillery's new make, followed by two whiskies that have each matured in first-fill bourbon casks and first-fill sherry casks.

Outstanding tour by Sam (who apparently had only just started working there) who was funny and very knowledgable at the same time. Some tourists in the party were a bit loud and sometimes unrespectful toward the speaker, but Sam never missed a beat and never lost his smile. Well done, young man! And the distillery itself is a must-see. Amazing operation they have going there and the whisky - while young as it's a new distillery - is already quite lovely and shows a lot of potential. The staff in the shop and café were all smiles and sincerely friendly. This was a visit that will be long remembered.

Austin was an amazing guide! he was very knowledgeable and funny. would definitely recommend this tour, especially to anyone wanting to learn about whiskey and how it's produced (even if you know nothing at the beginning, like me lol). 10/10 experience! also, they let you keep the wee whiskey glass you do tastings with!
