Absolutely excellent tour....brilliant guide who was unbelievable

Dieses Erlebnis ist ein Multimedial-Event. Nicht zu vergleichen mit einer wirklichen Destillery-Tour, aber nichts desto trotz eine sehr gut gemachte Führung mit einem Tasting von je einem Whisky aus den 5 Regionen Schottlands. Muss Mann mal gemacht haben

En la cata van demasiado deprisa y el traductor automático está en volumen muy bajo y se oye más lo que se habla fuera de los auriculares que la traducción. Eso sí, todo el mundo encantador.

Gran tour, y muy bien explicado gracias a la ponente Robin.

Ik vondt heel erg interessant en mooi en hoe het de werd whisky werd gemaakt. En de man die vol met passie het vertelde over de whisky.ik heb er zeer van genoten. En ik moet zeggen dat mijn vrouw niet van whisky hoe toch mee gedaan heb aan de toer voor balle bij een 10 met een griffel
