4 Whisky Bar Nights Worth Flying For

1.Explore Glasgow: Scottish Rogue Whisky Walking Pub Crawl

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 21 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $89Our pick

Join Scottish Rogue at 2pm for a 2.5-hour Glasgow walking tour with stops at The Scotia, The Piper Whisky Bar, and the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. Guides such as Neil explain Scotch, Glasgow history, and local pub customs in a relaxed way. Expect three whisky tastings, a small group of up to 12, and plenty of walking.

“My wife and I do similar tours in almost every city we visit and this was one of the best, if not, the best! Our guide was personable, knowledgeable, and engaging. We learned about whiskey but it wasn’t pretentious — after explaining that she doesn’t love straight spirits, my wife was offered ginger ale to mix with her scotch in every pub we visited. We were able to see some hidden gems that we would have never found on our own, or even been allowed into! We sampled scotch at a private members only club. We will definitely remember this experience for years to come!”

4.Scottish Rogue Whisky Pub Crawl

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $83Best value

Join Scottish Rogue guide Neil for a relaxed 2.5-hour walk through Glasgow, stopping at three local whisky pubs for 25ml drams. You’ll hear city stories, learn simple tasting tips, and finish at the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. It suits whisky fans and curious beginners, but not under-18s or people with mobility impairments.

“It was really great to learn about Glasgow's history (not just exclusively about the whiskey side of it). Neil was a great guide who was extremely friendly, accommodated for people who handle whiskey a bit harder, too. It was overall a lot of fun!”
