Huge, expensive new facility, but completely off putting for tastings or information. We were there on a saturday afternoon. We weren't there for a tour, just hoping for a tasting and a brief history. We saw the huge wall of whisky and looked at their rare/ expensive collection, but were unable to catch the eye of the 6 employees standing around chatting with each other (i'm assuming they were employees because they had on lanyards and one of them went through an employee only door) to ask a question. We then wandered upstairs for a tasting where one of the small bars was closed, though it had a bartender at it who refused to make eye contact and kept moving bottles around. The other bar tender was overwhelmed with people. There were only a few tables, all full, people at the bar, and others standing. Only half the people seemed to have been served. We decided to not bother sticking around. We drove over to glenfiddich distillery and had a lovely, more traditional experience with a bar that had several tenders, lots of tables, and staff to wait on them.
