2.Classic Scottish Whisky Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 24 reviews · 1 hour · from $56

Meet host Mark at the Perle Hotel’s Lulu Lounge for four independently produced and bottled Scotch whiskies. You’ll compare Highland, Islay, and Speyside styles while hearing stories about distilling, Hebridean life, Scottish law, and folklore. This is an intimate, English-language tasting for adults aged 18 and over, not a tour run by Oban Distillery.

“Somehow we had the expectation that this was a group tasting, more like a classroom and so we were very delighted to arrive and find it was a personal scotch tasting experience. Mark was very knowledgeable and personable, and it was clear that he was passionate about his craft. We would recommend this "tour" to anyone looking for a more personalized Whisky Tasting experience.”

4.Scottish Whisky Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 16 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $61

Meet at the Perle Oban Hotel & Spa for a one-hour tasting led by an expert host, including Mark when scheduled. Sample lesser-known whiskies from independent producers, learn how each dram is made, and enjoy a relaxed small-group setting rather than a standard distillery tour.

“This was a very informative and lovely whisky tasting. This tour focused on some lesser known but equally good whisky. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to provide interesting details about each whisky and answer our questions.”
