Whisky and Chocolate Pairing Tour
Pros:
"Our guide Cara did a phenomenal job of being engaged and fun while she walked us through the distilling process and tasting."
"The whiskies were all distinct, even to an amateur like me, and they were expertly paired with specialty chocolates made by a top notch local confectioner."
"For someone who never drinks whiskey, I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, as did my husband."
"I attendeded the whiskey+ chocolate tour and it felt like I got to try double the number of whiskeys, so I definitely recommend it!"
"The guide, Sam, provided entertaining and informative commentary throughout the tour and the tasting."
"Our tour guide, David, was so informative and made the tour very enjoyable."
"The whisky and chocolate tour was superb. I'm not normally into gimmicks or extras with whisky but the pairings were exceptional."
"The whiskey and chocolate tasting is very much recommended, great combinations."
Cons:
"My only complaint is we couldn't purchase the chocolates at the distillery!"
"It was a bit of a shame that we couldn't have any of the whisky actually made there."
Tour Experience and Guide Knowledge
Pros:
"The staff were able to put us on the One hour tour (£17.50 each). The tour was very informative and given by very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides."
"We had a tour booked for work and we had Cameron as our guide. He was so informative and passionate about what he does and it was a brilliant tour."
"Austin was really nice, fun and had in depth knowledge about the distillery, the whisky and the history of the area."
"The tour was really good thanks to Marco."
"Ronnie explained the tasting technique and advised us not to knock it back explaining why."
"Had a fantastic time at the distillery tour very informative and very friendly."
"Our guide was personable and able to answer any questions along the way!"
"Erin got the group talking to each other and having a laugh. She did a good job explaining the different types of whiskey in the tasting room."
Cons:
"Currently embarking on the distillery 'tour' which so far has consisted of the group being led into a room, then the guide wandering off to do something else."
"The distillery is stunning but I think the staff I encountered are just nice rather than well informed."
"The tour was a bit boring, the place is nice, the tasting is good, but tour wise not enjoyable... I was expecting some explanation from the guide."
Whisky Quality and Variety
Pros:
"The tasting consisted of five drams from every area in Scotland that whiskey is distilled in."
"Their whiskey tours are great and held by a professional and kind crew. They show all the steps of how they make their Whiskey."
"My other half dealt with Sam to purchase a bottle at the end of our visit and again, was very informative."
"The stobcross made in the distillery was a surprise. Light, sweet but far more interesting than many other lowland whiskies."
"The 2023 Cask strength whisky is amazing. well worth a visit."
"The whiskey and chocolate pairing is very much recommended, great combinations."
"Great distillery with amazing Scottish whiskey. The best I had throughout Scotland."
"Fantastic informative tour of the facility, history of whisky, the process, and the differences of the whisky produced."
Cons:
"If you are a seasoned whiskey enthusiast, know that this place is relatively new, so you won't get to buy 10+ year old whiskeys that they make."
"The tour is ok, you can get the basic facts, but compared to other distillery tours in Scotland it is far behind the experience."
"The tasting consisted almost exclusively of 'Casks of Scotland' products that are associated with the Clydeside Distillery through their owner."
"Having been founded in 2017, the distillery has none of its own single malt to show off yet."
"They do not have their own whisky as they have only just opened. But have links to other distilleries so they have a Lowland, Highland & an Islay to try."
Accessibility and Location
Pros:
"There is disabled parking and a big revolving door to get in."
"The distillery tour is small but very modern and welcoming."
"Clydeside distillery is one of many distillery in Glasgow, it is located just 0,5 mile from kelvin museum, next to clyde river."
"A distillery within walking distance from Glasgow City Centre (or a quick train ride if you want)."
"First time in Glasgow and we were lucky enough to find this distillery!"
"We only did the Cafe, walk ins accepted. Jestin served us. He was very helpful and informative."
"The cafe serves very good sourdough sandwiches."
"Just went for a lunch after visiting the transport museum. Four adults and three children. Had the Scottish tasting platters and soups."
Cons:
"New Visitor Center completely separate from the distilling facilities. As it is in an area where not much else is except a motorway right next to it."
"The Clydeside Distillery is hidden away on the side of the busy A814 road, situated in an old pump house."
"Food variety of food and whiskey. I would not have been here had it not been for the HOP ON HOP OFF city bus."
"Had an overall pleasant experience at Clydeside. Only thing wish they had at the premises and showed during the tour was barrel storage and malt drying area."
