The Masterclass Tour was great. Our guide/tutor, Bill, was very knowledgeable, as well as witty and friendly. The best distillery tour, and I've done many, that I have been on. Felt more like short class than just a tour. If you really want to learn about appreciating single malt whisky, this is the class to take.

Learned to appreciate the aroma notes by sniffing them in their pure form. Made it easier to pick them out when nosing whisky. Glengoyne doesn't use peated malt, so don't expect Laphroaig or Talisker. Their focus is the barley, the still, and the cask.

Towards the end we blended our own whisky and were able to take our blends (200ml) with us. Also, took home a 21 yo Glengoyne at a great price. In the middle of the class, the Director of the tours popped in to say hello and introduced himself.

Beautiful location with waterfalls in back.
